Description
Juneau was home for nearly 20 years. When winter weather conditions cooperated,I enjoyed the long walk across the frozen Mendenhall Lake to the face of Mendenhall Glacier. This required a few weeks of cold weather, and good timing so that I could cross on my week off. Regardless of the weather, there arealways risks in this crossing. Giant icebergs may roll in the frozen lake, cracking the ice as they shift. Ice near the Glacier is often thinner. I just could not resist the opportunity to shoot the glacial ice up close.
