I can't believe how much the Glacier has moved/melted since I've been here.

Juneau's Mendenhall Glacier. This glacier has significantly receeded in the 7 years that I have lived in Juneau. I will soon add additional photos from when I first moved here in 2001.

I use to live in Juneau 20 years ago.  It scares me to see how much of a change the glacier has gone through.  I just heard how much the ice caps are melting at an alarming rate on CNN news today.  I always hoped that one day I would get to show my children and grandchildren how beautiful glaciers are.  I hope things turn around and get better.  Your picture shows how much it has changed over time.  I use to love going to the visitor center and see how big it really is.
