Approximately 13 miles from downtown Juneau and located between the mountains is Mendenhall Glacier. Several tours are available to this glacier where you can enjoy views of the thirteen-mile-long river of ice, which terminates on the far side of Mendenhall Lake, and watch blue icebergs floating in the water amidst reflections of southeast Alaska’s coast mountains. The Mendenhall Glacier is one of many major glaciers that connect to the vast Juneau Ice Field, a 1,500 square mile remnant of the last ice age, cradled high in the coast mountain’s lofty peaks.
I visited Mendenhall several times but it never gets boring. Here are some photos I took from the glacier
