"Mendenhall Glacier Near Juneau, Alaska". This is one of the few glaciers in the world accessible by automobile road. It is 17 miles long and from 2 to 3 miles wide at its face. Swift streams are forced from under its mountain weight and the sides of the valleys along its course are cut and scarred by pressure of the ice.
