Mendenhall冰川首次从Mendenhall湖撤退,因为气候变化。 Mendenhall Glacier has retreated from Mendenhall Lake for the first time ever, due to climate change.

Juneau的Mendenhall冰川在历史上首次从Mendenhall湖正式撤退,从湖泊灭绝向陆地灭绝的冰川转型。 Juneau’s Mendenhall Glacier has officially retreated from Mendenhall Lake for the first time in recorded history, transitioning from a lake-terminating to a land-terminating glacier. 科学家证实冰不再与湖保持连贯的接触,尽管短暂的季节性互动可能仍然存在。 Scientists confirm the ice no longer maintains consistent contact with the lake, though brief seasonal interactions may still occur. 由于冰川位于陆地上,由于过去二十年的气候变化,这一撤退速度加快,预计速度将放慢。 The retreat, accelerated by climate change over the past two decades, is expected to slow now that the glacier rests on land. 研究人员正在利用雷达在冰层下找到一个隐藏的湖泊,这可能影响未来的移动。 Researchers are using radar to locate a hidden lake beneath the ice that could influence future movement. 到2050年左右,冰川可能不再能从目前的游客中心看到,这引起了对改变朱都旅游业的担忧,尽管尽管过去曾提出过任何提议,但并未实施任何重大改变。 The glacier may no longer be visible from the current visitor center by around 2050, raising concerns about adapting Juneau’s tourism industry, though no major changes have been implemented despite past proposals.
