Those icy ridges found on the Tartarus Dorsa region
of Pluto are similar to the so - called

In addition to views
of the array antennas, the camera also provides stunning views
of the geologic wonders
of the Chajnantor Plateau, including the Licancabur stratovolcano and the curious, blade - like snow formations known as
penitentes, which form only in extremely high and dry conditions, like those found at ALMA.
