Bergs in Mendenhall Lake from the forest<br> Alaska picture - The glacier has retreated about two miles in the past fifty years. There are various places in the woods and on the shore that show the reach of the glacier in years past. We passed the former visitor center well in the forest at the beginning of our hike. The glacier has been retreating since the end of the last ice age, but the rate of recession has increased greatly this century.
