Hi Yolandi, I just did a quick online search for a way to convert this data. The Natio= nal Snow and Ice Data Centre has a program that can make the conversion fro= m HDF to ascII (http://nsidc.org/data/hdfeos/hdf_to_ascii.html). I have no= t tried this method but it may be somewhere to start. Once you have ascII = data, I believe you can convert it to a raster using Conversion-To Raster-A= SCII to Raster. Again, I have not done this myself, but at least the link = may help you.
Good luck! Sincerely, Honey-Marie Giroday, M.Sc.
