Description
Mendenhall Glacier & Lake
Tongass National Forest, Alaska
Located only 12 miles from downtown Juneau, the Mendenhall Glacier is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska, receiving over half a million visitors a year. A view from the ground does not really give a sense of how large this glacier is. With an aerial view, we can see much more of the half mile-wide, 13-mile-long glacier. The Mendenhall Glacier is the most visible portion of the 1,500 square mile Juneau Icefield; it takes ice 200-250 years to travel down the glacier and arrive at Mendenhall Lake.
