Charon --- NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI, brightened, sharpened, contrast heightened. See www.intergalacticsafari.com/pluto-and-friends.html
There Chairon stands, who rules the dreary coast -
A sordid god: down from his hairy chin
A length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean;
His eyes, like hollow furnaces on fire;
A girdle, foul with grease, binds his obscene attire.
-Aeneid (Virgil)

Edited New Horizons image of Pluto and Charon, taken on 3 July 2015. Many interesting details and features are visible on Pluto now, and some on Charon as well.
Icy world Charon is 1,200 kilometers across. That makes Pluto's largest moon only about 1/10th the size of planet Earth but a whopping 1/2 the diameter of Pluto itself. Charon is seen in unprecedented detail in this image from New Horizons. The image was captured late July 13 during the spacecraft's flight through the Plutonian system from a range of less than 500,000 kilometers. For reference, the distance separating Earth and Moon is less than 400,000 kilometers. Charonian terrain, described as surprising, youthful, and varied, includes a 1,000 kilometer swath of cliffs and troughs stretching below center, a 7 to 9 kilometer deep canyon cutting the curve of the upper right edge, and an enigmatic dark north polar region unofficially dubbed Mordor. via NASA ift.tt/1Gps8Op
And the sound of the river was like a mighty sigh that grief in the beginning had sighed among her sisters and that could not die like the echoes of human sorrow failing on Earthly hills but was old as time and the pain in Charon's arms.
It's the first thing I thought of (OK, I couldn't actually remember his name - the wonder of the web).
Charon - Colder
Come along with the whispering cold and fall
They left you nothing more to seek from here

Edited New Horizons image of Pluto and Charon, with lots of interesting shapes and markings on both objects.
I felt like I was in Australia or someplace like that, I don't even know where.
In fact I was in Oklahoma, which was the only disappointing thing about the experience.

In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, on February 16th, 2023, Post Oak Creek as viewed from the Charon's Garden Trail in the Charon's Garden Wilderness Area.
Post Oak Creek flows to West Cache Creek, which flows to Cache Creek, which flows to the Red River, which historically flowed to the Mississippi River, but now flows to the Atchafalaya River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.
The outcrops are Quanah Granite, part of the Wichita Granite Group, which was formed 533.24 to 515.6334 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the Cambrian period, during a failed attempt at a continental rift on prehistoric continent Laurentia.
The evergreens are eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana).
