Back in November I stumbled upon a NOAA weather data visualization exhibit on Info Island. NOAA now has a full island on Meteroa.



When you arrive at the island you can pick up a HUD to be used on the island. It took me a minute to figure out that it was used for information delivery rather than navigation. This method provides a less obtrusive experience compared to traditional notecards.

The first exhibit that I visitred was the one on weather balloons. Keep your hand on the "fly" control because when the tour ends the balloong ends and you plummet to the ground :)



Next I took a ride on the hurricane plane.



And then I headed over to the glacier exhibit.
