Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Forrest[sic] Service Bldg Glacier — 2—3—62" in handwriting. The image shows an exterior, shot from a low, upward looking angle. The visitor's center at the Mendenhall Glacier occupies the center of the image, set into an outcropping of rock overlooking the unseen Mendenhall Lake. There is nothing beyond it but the sky above. The building's rounded windows relfect the ground below it. The entire scene is blanketed in snow. The number "9" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left. Also bears the printed text "JUL 62P" on the bottom edge, perhaps indicating when the slide was developed.
