Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "by Glacier Trail 1—63" in handwriting. The image shows a lateral view of what is probably the Mendenhall Lake in winter. A crust of ice covers the water, which occupies the middling area of the image. In the foreground, there is a near shore, characterized by rock blanketed in snow, with some tree branches at right. The far shore has a sharply pointed snowcapped peak, looming high over the lake. The very edge of the Mendenhall Glacier can be seen at extreme right. The text "6 APR 63P" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper right.
