Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard frame (off white with red rear text "Color Transparency"). The frame is labeled "Mendenhall Glacier 9—4—66" in handwriting. The image shows a narrow portion of the Mendenhall Lake between a near shore at right, probably under the visitor's center, judging from the direction of the image capture, and the glacier itself at the far shore. The near shore is sandy with bits of thick grass. The glacier and its scarred blue—white surface occupies a very wide portion of the far shore, the formation not having receded yet to the extent it has today. Behind it at left, a long rounded slope extends to the center of the image, and there is a small portion of another slope at right. The sky is a heavy leaden gray and there is a thin fog in the air. The number "5" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left.
