Valley Glaciers on Pluto

Ice probably frozen nitrogen that appears to have accumulated on the uplands on the right side of this image from NASA New Horizons, is draining from Pluto mountains onto the informally named Sputnik Planum.

Ice (probably frozen nitrogen) that appears to have accumulated on the uplands on the right side of this 390-mile (630-kilometer) wide image is draining from Pluto's mountains onto the informally named Sputnik Planum through the 2- to 5-mile (3- to 8- kilometer) wide valleys. The flow front of the ice moving into Sputnik Planum is outlined by the blue arrows. The origin of the ridges and pits on the right side of the image remains uncertain. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19944
