Have you been out to the Mendenhall lately? If you want to see the glacier in the sunshine, according to the online weather report, we’ve got one day left before the rain sets in. Big chunks of ice calved from the glacier exposing the latest waterfall. The photo above barely shows the little waterfall. If you follow the base of the big waterfall (on the right) and move your eye to the left to where the rock comes to a point, you will barely see the waterfall (against the newly-faced glacier wall). I don’t know if it’s been named yet cuz it’s just a “newborn” and the Forest Service is busy with other matters. Go visit our local glacier. It’s melting fast. Our glaciers may not be around in 40 years. If anything, check out the icebergs!
