Juneau Alaska Photo
Juneau Alaska (pronounced June-oh) is a small community snug in the southeast panhandle of Alaska. Surrounded by sea, mountains, and ice fields, roughly 30,000 adventurous souls call it home. The City and Borough of Juneau is larger than the state of Rhode Island, and is the only landlocked state capital in the United States (Hawaii being waterlocked). This area was originally a favorite fishing area of the Tlingit people, while the city was founded around the discovery of gold in the 1880s. Today the top employers are government, tourism, and mining.

Welcome to CDP community. I like this image. I like the worker in red which ties in with the machinery. Is the Mendenhall glacier still in existence there? My father took lots of pictures of it when he stopped in Juneau during his WWII service.
Yes, Mendenhal Glacier is still around. It's the glacier on the top of my header. I would love to see your father's pictures.
