Mendenhall Glacier has retreated from Mendenhall Lake for the first time ever, due to climate change.
Juneau’s Mendenhall Glacier has officially retreated from Mendenhall Lake for the first time in recorded history, transitioning from a lake-terminating to a land-terminating glacier.
Scientists confirm the ice no longer maintains consistent contact with the lake, though brief seasonal interactions may still occur.
The retreat, accelerated by climate change over the past two decades, is expected to slow now that the glacier rests on land.
Researchers are using radar to locate a hidden lake beneath the ice that could influence future movement.
The glacier may no longer be visible from the current visitor center by around 2050, raising concerns about adapting Juneau’s tourism industry, though no major changes have been implemented despite past proposals.
