Ice cave safety, bird carvings, yoga adventures and indie rock…

There  are only a few weeks out of the year that you can explore the ice caves at the Mendenhall Glacier. A dangerous excursion, even for those who know them well. Just ask, Jayme Johns, an ice expert for the Capital City Fire and Rescue Department.

On this Tuesday’s Juneau Afternoon, what you should know before venturing out.

Some other highlights:

How Matt Robus likes to capture the “feel of a bird” in his carvings, “without getting bogged down in the photo-realistic details.” A preview of his presentation to the Juneau Audubon Society on Thursday, February 11th.
