Mendenhall Glacier - Alaska
Layers of Ice, Water, and Wonder
Mendenhall Glacier Photos Turned Into Fine Art – Juneau, Alaska
Some places leave you in awe the moment you see them—and Mendenhall Glacier is absolutely one of them. Just outside of Juneau, Alaska, this 13.6-mile-long glacier quietly dominates the landscape, flowing into Mendenhall Lake alongside the rushing waters of Nugget Falls. On the day I captured this image, the sky was clear, the colors were bold, and the scene felt like something out of a dream. This isn’t just a typical snapshot—it’s one of my favorite Mendenhall Glacier photos, taken during a family cruise to the glacier near Juneau, Alaska.
This fine art photograph is more than just a landscape—it’s an experience. If you look closely, you’ll spot all kinds of little treasures: the glacier’s icy blue ridges, floating icebergs, Nugget Falls crashing into the lake, tiny birds soaring, even a few small but mighty people exploring the trail. It’s almost like a game of hide-and-seek, where every time you look, something new reveals itself. I wanted to create something more than a travel keepsake—this is fine Mendenhall Glacier art designed to preserve that powerful sense of awe.
We visited during a family cruise, and I’ll never forget walking to the glacier—feeling the chill in the air, hearing the waterfall’s roar, and seeing the sheer size of it all. That’s the feeling I wanted to preserve in this piece: wonder, scale, serenity, and the power of nature all in one frame. This image—one of my most memorable Mendenhall Glacier photos—was taken during a family cruise stop near Juneau, capturing the glacier’s dramatic scale and icy color in perfect light.
