Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - A glacially dammed lake above the Taku Inlet is compounding the already-existing flood warning for the Taku River as the water drains into the waterway.
The lake, called Lake No Lake, has been closely watched by the National Weather Service over the past several days, according to meteorologist Nicole Ferrin in an interview with News of the North.
"This is the typical time of year where [a release] could happen," she said. "We got helicopter confirmation from Canadians that the lake has indeed drained into the Take River area."
This type of draining event from a glacially-dammed lake is called a jökulhlaup in Icelandic. Jökulhlaups also happen in the Mendenhall Valley when Suicide Basin drains, often causing the West Glacier Trail area to flood.
