Juneau (朱諾) online 游戲玩多了..總覺得朱諾是座天空之城

Downtown Juneau sits at sea level, with tides averaging 16 feet (4.9 m), below steep mountains about 3,500 to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) high. Atop these mountains is the Juneau Icefield, a large ice mass from which about 30 glaciers flow; two of these, the Mendenhall Glacier and the Lemon Creek Glacier, are visible from the local road system; the Mendenhall glacier has been generally retreating; its front face is declining both in width and height.


又可以看到我喜歡的 icefield 了~ =]

Juneau is accessible only via sea or air. Cars and trucks are transported to and from Juneau by barge or ferry


woo so exotic~

聽說今年是最後一年會有從 vancouver 出發到 alaska 的 cruise
(it will be departing from seattle later on)

希望回來不會肥死 XD

googling and collecting info on activities and restaurants that one MUST do/have

and came across this...

Juneau's Sister Cities

* Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
Resolution 1403 - Establishing Sister City Relationship with Whitehorse

* Chia Yi City, Taiwan, China
Resolution 1301 - Establishing Sister City Relationship with Chia Yi City


oh my!! 嘉義竟然是 Juneau's sister city since 1988!?!?!?!




跟 alaska 沒什麼有關的...

Have fun! :)

You will see lots of collapses of glacier there.

When I was there on a cruise, lots of people were clapping and cheering when they saw huge chunks of glacier fell.

It's sad.
