Nugget Falls - a photo on Flickriver

Nugget Falls

            One of the most interesting natural features near Juneau, this spectacular waterfall plunges about 377 feet down the rugged mountainside into Mendenhall Lake about three-quarter miles south of the active face of Mendenhall Glacier. Powered by meltwater runoff from hanging Nugget Glacier, the cataract makes its descent in two tiers—99 feet and 278 feet—before gushing into the chilly, aquamarine water. Before the glacier receded over recent decades, the falls was said to actually splattered onto the ice itself. Some accounts say accumulating water would spread out across the glacier surface.
