Description: July 24, 2015 New Horizons Discovers Flowing Ices on Pluto http://www.nasa.gov/feature/new-horizons-discovers-flowing-ices-on-pluto http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/docs/04_McKinnon_03c.jpg (higher resolution version?) This annotated image of the southern region of Sputnik Planum illustrates its complexity, including the polygonal shapes of Pluto’s icy plains, its two mountain ranges, and a region where it appears that ancient, heavily-cratered terrain has been invaded by much newer icy deposits. The large crater highlighted in the image is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) wide, approximately the size of the greater Washington, DC area.
