Sorry. A lot of Minnesotans in Alaska

There are people from Minnesota. But if they die here, they are Alaskans.

Anyone who says they are going "home" and it's not in-state, are not Alaskans.

Whale ribs?

 

[thør]

Tourists all get their photos taken at the whalebone arch in Barrow. Besides, it's right close to the hotel and some eateries.

It's coming. It always does.

See any life jackets on these people? They definitely did not rig to flip and dress to swim. Dumbasses. In glacial water, they're lucky there was not a fatality.

 

[thør]

Cool, but uncomfortable.

If you're in Juneau.......

Current Status: 8/4/2024 at 10:30am. As of Sunday morning at 10:11am AKDST, both the basin water level gage and Mendenhall Lake gage are indicative of a sub-glacial release. The Mendenhall River is currently at 5ft with the official forecast crest reaching near record values of 14.9ft by the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 6th. The forecast reflects a near 100% release, similar to the 2023 event.
15 feet - Up to 2 feet of water will be covering Killewich Dr. Water starts to enter the backyards of houses along the south side of Marion Dr. Rivercourt Way, Lakeview Ct, Center Ct, Parkview Ct, Turn St & Northland St could have up to 1.5 feet of water over the road. Up to 1 foot of water covering Riverside Dr at Tournure St.
12 feet - Water starts to back up between Riverside Dr at Tournure St and Mendenhall River School. Significant bank erosion along unreinforced river banks.
10 feet - Water levels will inundate Mendenhall Campground with up to 3 feet of water covering low areas as well as up to 1.5 feet of water covering Skaters Cabin Road. Portions of West Glacier Trail will be impassable.
6.7 feet - Nugget Falls trail begins to flood near the "causeway" at the end of the trail."

A new record. If you flooded last year, the water is a foot higher this year. Time to review some choices you've made.

So is the Mendenhall receding or advancing these days?

I would say that it's not gaining mass......

Glaciers are renowned for their ponderous pace, but they get really scary when they start to float downhill.
