A glacial outburst flood from the Suicide Basin (pictured here) and the Mendenhall Glacier caused a record amount of water (we are talking more than 22,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools) to flood the Mendenhall River Valley and northern Juneau, Alaska. This is the second year in a row that the entire basin has drained, causing back-to-back years of record flooding downstream. Scientists who study these events and Alaska's changing and warming climate say that these types of floods would not be po

Crazy video of the Suicide Basin in Alaska filling up & dumping 400 feet over onto Suicide Glacier, into the Mendenhall River and into the Mendenhall Valley at a staggering 15.99 feet. It caused major flooding in parts of Juneau. This is more than a foot higher than last year's outburst almost to the day - and homes collapsed over the side of the eroded riverbank and into the waterway in that event. Just look at how much dumped out between Aug 4th and 5th! More about it here: https://www.climate

Suicide basin, near Juneau, Alaska filled with water beginning on May 16, 2016 then drained after a glacial outburst on July 1, 2016. The Mendenhall River, near Juneau Alaska, is experiencing high flows that threaten homes and other infrastructure downstream. USGS field crews, in cooperation with the City and Borough of Juneau, are on-site measuring the river flow to verify readings from the USGS streamflow monitoring station. The National Weather Service issues flood forecasts based on this sta
