X marks the spot in this image transmitted to Earth on Dec. 24, 2015 from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) from NASA’s New Horizons' showing the highest-resolution swath of Pluto at the center of Sputnik Planum, the informally named plain that forms the left side of Pluto's "heart." The pattern of polygonal cells stems from the slow thermal convection of the nitrogen-dominated ices. Also visible is a dirty block of water ice "floating" in denser solid nitrogen.

“Also visible is a dirty block of water ice “floating” in denser solid nitrogen”

Can’t they see that there is a mining operation underway? Are they blind or what?
