Reflection

From the shores of Mendenhall Lake, you can see the deciduous alder and willows are beginning to green up displaying the forest succession of where the Mendenhall Glacier once excited.

Breakup

The ice on Mendenhall Lake has broken up leaving behind massive chunks of lake ice and bergy-bits (a.k.a. small icebergs). It wont take long before the lake ice empties into the Mendenhall River.

Morning Walk

This morning after I dropped our daughter off at school, I went for a walk along Mendenhall Lake. The unusually warm weather that we are receiving has made the ice unstable. Last year at this time the lake was froze over and people were out on the lake cross-country skiing, walking their dogs, and hiking. Romeo, the lone black wolf, was also a common sight. Unfortunately, no one has seen him since September.

Last night we received a light dusting of snow, so I thought I would check out some of Romeo’s old stomping grounds for any sign of him. I’m sad to report there were no paw prints. His whereabouts still remain a mystery.
