🚨🌊 BREAKING: Major Flood Emergency in Juneau Alaska 🌊🚨 A massive glacial lake outburst flood is now underway. Water from above the Mendenhall Glacier is surging into Mendenhall Lake and River, and levels are rising toward near-record heights. Forecasts show the crest could hit between 16.3 and 16.8 feet by Wednesday afternoon, putting homes, roads, and critical infrastructure at risk. Past floods here have destroyed property and collapsed riverbanks and this one could be just as severe. Floo

As the climate changes and glaciers melt, a lesser-known threat lurks in alpine areas: glacial lake outburst floods. These events happen rapidly, releasing huge amounts of water with little or no warning. Unsuspecting communities lying in the flood path can suffer serious losses. Researchers seek better ways to predict these outburst floods and mitigate their danger. Take a hike through the Swiss Alps with glaciologist Fabian Walter to learn about this phenomenon and our ongoing efforts to under

🧊 This footage from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska forming a natural ice dam. As meltwater builds up and suddenly releases, it triggers a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF). For three years in a row, Juneau has faced unprecedented August flooding linked to this process. In 2024, record-breaking floods impacted more than 300 homes.🌊 The story of the Mendenhall Glacier is not unique. Around the world, rising temperatures are making cryosphere-related haz

Flying inside a glacier lake after it drained, and getting a close up look at where the water escaped. GLOF stands for Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, which is the sudden and release of a large amount of water from a glacial lake. It happens here typically once every year. “Jökulhlaups (an Icelandic word pronounced yo-KOOL-lahp) are glacial outburst floods. They occur when a lake fed by glacial meltwater breaches its dam and drains catastrophically.” -National Park Service | Leigh Coates
