Solved this.

Atlas compresses the snapshot into a .tar.gz file. This archive includes the snapshot and the mongod logs.

Once extracted, you can access the data files by starting a mongod instance on the host and pointing it at the extract directory using the --dbpath option.

For anyone like me looking to read them locally, in the terminal, you want to run mongod --dbpath ../path/to/folder and then once it says something like Listening on 127.0.0.1 you open a new tab in the terminal and type mongo 127.0.0.1 – Delphine
