Galactic-scale superwinds, driven by the collective effect of massive stars and supernovae, have been invoked as a source of heating and metallicity enrichment of both the intra-cluster and inter-galactic medium. There is abundant morphological, physical and kinematic evidence for superwinds in nearby starburst and infrared luminous galaxies. M82 is the nearest, brightest and best-studied starburst galaxy with an outflowing wind. Recent Spitzer imaging of M82 has revealed a spectacular, large-scale dust halo along the minor axis. We have mapped this halo from 5-38 microns using the low-resolution modules of the Infrared Spectrograph on Spitzer. We will present and discuss the dust, fine-structure line, and warm molecular gas maps in the context of the outflowing superwind in M82.
