A newly discovered mountain range lies near the southwestern margin of Pluto’s heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio (Tombaugh Region), situated between bright, icy plains and dark, heavily-cratered terrain. These frozen peaks are estimated to be one-half mile to one mile high, about the same height as the United States’ Appalachian Mountains. Credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SWRI
