Hm...
Just a general impression looking at all the skeet shot images.....but I get the feeling that the active vent regions may be adjacent to the lighter toned and more muted fracture zones. Lighter tones might be due to snow emplacement as plumes blow off their material. Really looking forward to what the other instruments saw and also the refined targeting analysis as to which areas along the tiger stripes really got imaged.... And I remembered what I was going to do next..... get to bed given I have to get up for work in four hours. Amazing night friends..... Craig |
