CapturedByGrace > "Mendenhall Glacier"
Taken July 2008.
Located just 12 miles outside of Juneau.  The glacier itself is about 12 miles long, 1.5 miles wide, & 100 feet high.  Its source is the Juneau icefield, which extends from north of Juneau to the border of British Columbia, Canada.  The Mendenhall Glacier is a receding glacier, which means it "calves" off big pieces of ice, called icebergs.
