Reminds me of: "A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!"
E.g., here is one of the fallout from Ivy Mike. Plus a quicky (ugly) Photoshop reprojection in polar coordinates... a little wonky.pic.twitter.com/ri6XMi3bjT

Yeah. Maybe b/c of difference in yield + test site location? Marshall Islands are about 700 mi closer to equator than French Polynesia.pic.twitter.com/rmlw9qq7Qw
