Unlike the fiery eruptions we visualize when thinking about volcanoes, these spew ice, creating a surreal sight.
“For Pluto, internal heat is also expected to be the driver for volcanism seen in some places at the surface, but we don’t know if there is a subsurface global ocean of water plus chemicals left over from the time Pluto formed and had a hot interior,” Cruikshank told Pluto's core is rocky, surrounded by an icy shell. Much of the bedrock on Pluto consists of water ice, while hydrocarbon compounds known as "tholins" cover the surface, resulting from cosmic rays and radiation interacting with gasses in the atmosphere and surface ice.
