	Impressive detail. The upper image looks like impact craters, the lower like volcanic/igneous activity. I'm not a geologist, so those are guesses. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	The lager craters appear to be about 10km across going by the blue line ( scale ?) This one is 0.88m across. It is Wolf Creek crater and billed as the second largest in the world. I doubt that as i am sure i have read about one 10's of Klics across on the S. American coast. Maybe that was volcanic where this is impact? Either way it just goes to illustrate how large Pluto's craters really are. Jim __________________ Where's the KaBoom? There should be a KaBoom!

	0.88 m[eters] is only about 34.6 inches; I'm thinking that a "k" is lost somewhere in cyberspace.

	Yes Ed, my bad. :-( It is 0.88Km. Is that O. .? Jim __________________ Where's the KaBoom? There should be a KaBoom!

	Actually, to me those 'dents' look like collapsed bubbles in dried up mud; or perhaps, collapsed domes from dried bubbles in magma. You will note, that there are other bumps around them, which appear not to have made it to the surface, before the whole site hardened. __________________ If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!
