Glacier walking is an experience like no other

It was a dreary day in Juneau but a helicopter ride to Mendenall Glacier was on my "to do" list. Mendenhall’s grand edifice plunges from the immense Juneau Icefield, dropping 4,500 feet over 13 miles. Its active face regularly calves big icebergs and brash into its lake. The glacier has been retreating for 300 to 400 years, since the Little Ice Age, and has peeled back another 1.75 miles since 1929.
