Mendenhall Glacier Retreat: Juneau's Iconic Landmark in Peril

Juneaus Mendenhall Glacier, a city icon and top tourist attraction, has retreated from Mendenhall Lake for the first time, marking a significant phase in its ongoing retreat due to climate change. Despite occasional brief reunions with the lake, the glacier is no longer functionally a lake-terminating glacier. Scientists predict it may disappear from view around 2050, potentially devastating Juneaus tourism industry. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
