Day 4 - Juneau
Juneau is the capital of Alaska, and a southern island.
A tour bus took us around to a few sights:
Fish Hatchery ladderA non-profit fish hatchery helped to restore salmon in the area. They have a museum and explain how they harvest eggs to grow salmon.
Tight QuartersOnce the salmon swim up the ladder, they land here. Workers sort them by species.

Mendenhall GlacierMendenhall Glacier is a glacier about 13.6 miles long located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles from downtown Juneau in the southeast area of the U.S. state of Alaska.
Just me and a glacier... and all the other people, of course.
