May 16th - Mendenhall Glacier

The Mendenhall Glacier is located 12 miles from downtown Juneau. It can be viewed from the Visitor's Center.





The mist and rain played with our visibility

Large chunks of glacier ice floated in the lake formed by the calving of the glacier.
 You can see a time lapse depiction of the advancement and recession of the glacier on the website provided below.


Lou is enjoying viewing the glacier from the warmth of the Visitors Center.
This is as close as we will ever get to climbing a glacier!
