Rescue Effort
On Tuesday, Alaska Wildlife Troopers received a report at 1:45 p.m. that an adult man had fallen into a stream on the Mendenhall Glacier and was missing after he was pushed by the water into a small vertical opening in the ice. The two people he was traveling with could no longer see him once he fell into the opening. Juneau Mountain Rescue deployed a technical ice rescue team, who subsequently discovered the roughly two-foot-wide hole was filled with rushing water. It was determined to be too dangerous to attempt to locate the missing man, pending any further leads. He was a resident of Italy, and efforts are ongoing to notify his next of kin.
