Experts expect the likely record-breaking event to peak today, and officials have asked residents in parts of the city and borough to evacuate. The flood doesn’t come as a surprise. Years ago, a small glacier on the other side of Mendenhall Glacier—which is just 12 miles (19 kilometers) from Juneau—receded and left a basin in its wake, according to the Associated Press.
