yeah its flat on about 600 acres and most of that has risen since 1897 when John Muir was there. At that time there was mostly Glaciers pushing down the valleys. Quote John Muir: "There has been Global warming for a long time to create this glacier retreat."
Glacier rebound has elevated Juneau about 20 ft since he was there. Unbelievable. All of this was under water oh yes and about 400 feet of ice.
