This is a newer video showing some incredible ice formations on the mysterious planet Pluto:

Not far from a range of giant ice mountains on Pluto lies a vast stretch of icy plains whose surface is broken into cell-like blocks by snaking troughs, new photos by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft reveal.

The engimatic region — which the mission team is calling “Sputnik Planum,” after the satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 — also features isolated hills of uncertain height, mysterious pitted terrain and dark streaks of material that may have been deposited by Plutonian winds. You can fly over Sputnik Planum in this amazing video, which NASA released today (July 17).

Let’s check out the incredible footage of this mostly unexplored planet on page 2
