On this Photon Phrightday, Dr. Tom Neumann takes a look at a pass from ICESat-2 over the large shield volcano, Mount Terror, on Ross Island, Antarctica.

NASA’s ICESat-2 mission measures the height of land, ice, and water by bouncing photons of light off their surfaces and timing how long it takes them to return to the spacecraft.

Take a closer look at this fearful photon cloud...if you dare!
