- Suicide Basin, a glacial lake tucked behind the Mendenhall Glacier, is a looming flood threat for Juneau residents this time of year.

Last year’s flooding was catastrophic. As the basin fills again, scientists at the University of Alaska Southeast are keeping a close eye on it.
- A number of bears have been spotted in Dillingham in the last few weeks. KDLG’s Meg Duff shares tips for keeping bears away.
