LIDAR Map

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/images/content/67414main_lidar_changes.jpg

This is a sample of Mt. St. Helen, taken by NASA. The LIDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target by using an optical remote sensor. The information retrieved can track changes over time in a particular area.
