Earth ChangesFears Alaskan capital could disappear underwater as melting GLACIER sends torrents of floodwater rushing towards homes Posted on August 13, 2025 by Administrator Emergency managers are urging residents of Alaska’s capital, Juneau, to evacuate as glacial flooding from the Mendenhall River threatens to sweep through the city. Officials have recommended that residents within the 17-foot lake level inundation zone leave the area until the water recedes and an ‘All Clear’ message is sent via the wireless emergency alert system. In a Facebook post, officials said a glacial outburst has occurred at Suicide Basin, which is dammed by the Mendenhall Glacier that has experienced accelerated melting and retreat, primarily due to climate change.
