[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photo taken on a day that started out very wet and dreary with the skies clearing and the sun appearing a few minutes before we left the glacier.
The Mendenhall Glacier is located about 12 miles from downtown Juneau, Alaska in the Mendenhall Valley. It is 12 miles long and 11/2 miles wide.
Originally named Auke Glacier by John Muir, it was renamed in honor of Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, the superintendent of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (1889-1894) in 1892. It runs from the Juneau Icefield to Mendenhall Lake. It has been retreating for at least the last three hundred years and was about 2.5 miles longer in 1700.

Beautiful composition, nice mood. Reminds me of my visit to Snowdonia, Wales. Majestic and scary at the same time.

Thanks for sharing!
