#3 Mendenhall icecave, Alaska
The Mendenhall Glacier is one of the 38 glaciers of the Juneau Icefield in Southeast Alaska. This huge ice covers 3885 square kilometers of land. One of the most beautiful glaciers in the Alaska. Like all glaciers, Mendenhall is constantly on the move: the ice stream slides 1646 m in the Parti Mountains. This impressive glacier jumble takes 250 years to reach the top of the glacier at the end of Mendenhall, 21 km far away. There are blocks of huge blue ice blocks here suddenly and unexpectedly leaking from the edge of the glacier and falling into the water. It is famous for the huge, floating icebergs of the lake. The oceanic climate of the countryside provides a lavish snowfall that exceeds the 30 km of glaciers every year. The sunken snow will eventually turn into ice and renew the glacier. The glacier features wonderful ice caves that blend in beautiful blue color.
