Glacial Outburst Sparks Major Flood Threat in Alaska’s Capital

 Juneau, Alaska, is on high alert as a rare “glacial outburst” triggers severe flooding along the Mendenhall River. The phenomenon, caused by the sudden release of water from a glacial lake, has inundated parts of the city and raised fears of further damage to homes and infrastructure. Officials are warning residents to stay clear of flood zones as emergency crews monitor water levels and prepare for potential evacuations. Scientists say such events may become more frequent as climate change accelerates glacial melt.
