Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, United States Feb. 25, 2026

Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, United States

Hidden just outside Juneau, Alaska, the Mendenhall Glacier feels almost unreal, inside and out. Step into one of its rare blue ice caves, and the world turns quiet and luminous, with light filtering through centuries-old compacted ice. The glacier stretches about 21 kilometres from the Juneau Icefield, slowly flowing towards the valley below and reshaping itself year by year.
