  2. Mendenhall Glacier

    Alaska's famous drive-in glacier, Mendenhall Glacier, is Juneau's most popular attraction, flowing 19km (12mi) from its source, the Juneau Ice Field. On a sunny day it's beautiful, with blue skies and snowcapped mountains in the background. On a cloudy and drizzly afternoon, it can be even more impressive, as the ice turns shades of deep blue.
