Triton’s South Polar Cap

Description
Triton’s South Polar Cap
Approximately a dozen high-resolution Voyager 2 images were combined to produce this view of Triton’s southern hemisphere.
The pinkish polar cap is probably made of nitrogen frost. A notable scarcity of craters suggests that Triton’s surface was
either melted or flooded by icy lava after the era of bombardment that characterized the early history of the
solar system
