A supervolcano on Pluto as large as the one in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, may have erupted and spewed ice over the dwarf planet’s surface just a few million years ago, according to an analysis of a crater found by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.

Ice volcanoes on Pluto were first identified in images taken by New Horizons when it reached the object in 2015.
