Review:
The Mendenhall Glacier, also known as Sitaantaagu, is a 13.6-mile-long glacier in the Juneau Icefield in the heart of the Mendenhall Valley that forms part of the federally protected Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area. Located approximately 12 miles from downtown Juneau and ending at Mendenhall Lake, the glacier is a popular tourist attraction and can be seen from the Forest Service's historic visitor center. The modern visitor center features interactive exhibits and displays about the glacier, including a movie every 20 minutes, viewing telescopes offering spectacular views of Mendenhall Glacier and icebergs floating in the lake, and a variety of children’s activities and ranger talks.
