Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2520

Mendenhall Glacier is one of Alaska’s most popular tourist attractions with over 350,000 visitors per year. Located just 13 miles from downtown Juneau, the Mendenhall is a favorite among Juneauites and is commonly referred to as our backyard glacier. The lone man walks the sidewalk to the visitor’s center. This image illustrates page 70 in my new book on Alaska called Alaska: A Photographic Excursion and is also the photo for the month of May in my 2008 Southeast Alaska Calendar.
