This live stream looks toward the Mendenhall Glacier area near Juneau, the capital of Alaska. It is a useful way to check on the glacier and the mountainside, and to see whether conditions are clear enough for a visit. The page also shows the local time and forecast so you can plan around the weather.
About the place
Juneau sits on the Alaska panhandle, reachable mainly by air or sea because no road connects it to the rest of the state. The Mendenhall Glacier is one of the best known ice fields in the region, flowing down from the Juneau Icefield into a lake at the edge of the city. The surroundings are dense coastal forest and steep mountains, and the setting feels remote even though the town is close.
What you can watch
The camera is titled for mountain goats, so the view is likely to include the rocky slopes where these animals are often seen, though sightings depend on the day. The glacier and its changing light are most striking in the early morning and late evening. Cloud and rain can cover the peaks for long stretches, so the view may change quickly from clear to hidden.
Practical notes
Juneau has a cool, wet maritime climate, with summers mild and rainy and winters snowy. Late spring through early autumn is the usual time to visit. Nearby cameras on this site include the Mendenhall River and an eagle camera a few kilometres away, which can be useful if you want to compare conditions at other points around the glacier.
