Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #3422

I visited the Mendenhall Glacier with good friends and we found this amazing surface lake on the ice. Glacier streams and sometimes small rivers can be found on the glacier surface in temperate climates. In places those streams can create lakes. These lakes often disappear just as quickly as they were created. Eventually, the water will wear a hole through the ice and will drain just like pulling a plug out of the bath tub. My friend, Bob Engelbrecht, roams around the edge of the lake to give the viewer a size perspective. This image illustrates the month of September in my 2022 Juneau Alaska Calendar. Thank you for visiting and for the gift of your time. Enjoy – Camera: #Nikon #D850, Lens: # Nikkor 80-400mm, Digital Capture, Hand-Held, ©Mark Kelley
