Mendenhall Glacier

Mendenhall Glacier, a 13-mile-long (19-kilometer-long) natural wonder, is a highlight of any visit to Juneau. Located at the edge of Mendenhall Lake, the glacier can be easily accessed from the historic Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. On sunny days, the glacier’s ice glistens, while on cloudy, drizzly afternoons, it takes on a deeper, more intense shade of blue. Visitors can explore the area and witness the glacier’s ever-changing landscape, offering a unique and vivid experience of Alaska’s glacial environment.
