Formed by the creek from the Nugget Glacier, the waterfall drops {{convert|377|ft|m}} in two tiers of {{convert|99|ft|m}} and {{convert|278|ft|m}} onto a sandbar in Mendenhall Lake, which is the freshwater pool at the face of the Mendenhall glacier. The lake then drains via Mendenhall River into the Inside Passage.[1] The waterfall is fed by Nugget Creek, which is in turn fed by the Nugget Glacier, a tributary glacier on the mountainside east of Auke Bay. The creek cascades down towards Mendenhall Lake, forming a hanging valley, then plunges over the falls to the lake. Prior to the recession of Mendenhall Glacier, it was said that the falls would drop "directly on the glacier",[1] or that the "glacier covered the waterfall".[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|last=Bryan Swan|first=Dean Goss|url=http://www.world-waterfalls.com/waterfall.php?num=460|title=Nugget Falls|publisher=www.world-waterfalls.com|work=World Waterfall Database|accessdate=2009-06-17}} {{JuneauAK-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nomadjournaltrips.com/mendenhall_glacier_alaska|title=Going It Alone: The Waterfall at Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska|last=Gabriel|first=Theresa|publisher=www.nomadjournaltrips.com|work=nomad journal trips|accessdate=2009-06-17|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090602132930/http://www.nomadjournaltrips.com/mendenhall_glacier_alaska|archivedate=2009-06-02|df=}} 2 : Landforms of Juneau, Alaska|Waterfalls of Alaska |
