Photon Phrightday
Greetings, ICESat-2 fans,
today for Halloween, we bring you
a very special Photon Phrightday
over Mount Terror,
a live volcano in Antarctica
on Ross Island.
Mount Terror is a large shield volcano, named in 1841 by Sir James Clark Ross
after his ship, the HMS Terror.
And if that's not scary enough,
just think of the prospect of downloading
terror-bytes of data,
filling your hard drive
for eternity.
Photon Phrightday, Mount Terror
