Pluto, Norgay Montes "New Horizons spacecraft looked back (...) and captured this near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto's horizon. The smooth expanse of the (...) icy plain Sputnik Planum is flanked to the west by rugged mountains up to 3500 meters high, including the (...) Norgay Montes in the foreground and Hillary Montes on the skyline. (...) The backlighting highlights more than a dozen layers of haze in Pluto's tenuous but distended atmosphere.
