They might also be a crater chain, but the highlights on the sunward side strongly suggest the shadows of peaks. We'll find out soon. On Jul 4, 2015 8:55 AM, "Dave Gary" <davegary@me.com> wrote:

Regarding the dark spots, a series of mountain peaks seems very odd
considering Pluto's size and likely composition.

I looked at the series of dark and light areas in New Horizon's latest

If not that, I'm going with Chuck's assessment.
