To understand the strongly excited gas near the center of our own galaxy, detailed surveys in a variety of higher excitation states are required. To aid in this effort, the Antarctic Sub-millimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO, a 1.7m diameter sub-millimeter-wave telescope at the geographic South Pole) has completed a fully sampled survey of CO(7-6), CO(4-3), [CI](3P2-3P1), and [CI](3P1-3P0) in a three square degree region around the Galactic Center (Martin et al., ApJS, 150, 239 (2004)). In addition to this dataset, AST/RO has recently completed a survey area around Clump 1 and 2, thus covering the bulk of strongly excited gas near the center of the galaxy. To fully illustrate the range of information available in this extensive dataset, a series of interactive 3D visualizations and movies will presented.
