For #MeerMittwoch here's part of Auke Bay near Juneau, Alaska, and some sea lions (or seals; I can never remember which is which) resting on a navigation buoy. This was taken a few months ago at the conclusion of our incredible whale-watching trip out there.

NOAA reporting about August 2023 flooding in Juneau Alaska. “Not every retreating glacier in Alaska is at risk for these glacial lake outburst floods, but those that are can have very serious consequences downstream. …

For the Mendenhall Valley, glacial lake outburst floods are a relatively new phenomena but have become a yearly occurrence since 2011, when the first outburst occurred.”

The steadily retreating Mendenhall Glacier that I visited in early July, about five weeks before this week's massive flood near Juneau, Alaska.

🌊 Klimakatastrophe in Alaska / #Mendelhall River

Im März genehmigte Präsident Biden die Erschließung eines eines neuen Ölfelds in Alaska: https://deutschlandfunk.de/willow-project-usa-oel-alaska-100.html

Vor 2 Tagen löste der Abbruch eines Gletschers nahe #Juneau eine verheerende Sturzflut aus:

Es fühlt sich so an, als wären wir längst über die Klippe gesprungen und können jetzt nur noch alles daran setzen, dass sich unser Fallschirm rechtzeitig öffnet.

This image isn't up to my normal standards (go see my flooding photos at KTOO.org!), but it's proof!

Via The Associated Press, a look at tourism in Juneau, Alaska as cruise ship visitors swarm the retreating Mendenhall Glacier: "Kerry Kirkpatrick, a Juneau resident of nearly 30 years, recalls when the Mendenhall’s face was 'long across the water and high above our heads.' She called the glacier a national treasure for its accessibility and noted an irony in carbon-emitting helicopters and cruise ships chasing a melting glacier."

#Juneau’s record glacial outburst flood prompts evacuations and destroys at least 1 home

August 5, 2023 by Anna Canny, KTOO

"The source of this weekend’s #flooding is a #glacial dam outburst flood from #SuicideBasin, above the #MendenhallGlacier. An update from the National Weather Service described record flooding of waterways and low-lying areas, along with flooding 'in areas that have not previously seen flooding before.'"

Slowly processing photos from #Alaska and here's one of my favourites so far. These are humpback whales engaged in bubble-net feeding and I think I can count eight in the photo but there's no way to be sure how many were on or below the surface. We saw this spectacle a dozen or more times during this whale-watching boat ride during our stop at #Juneau and it's a memory we'll cherish.
