Burney is the second-largest known impact basin on the dwarf planet Pluto. With a diameter of over 290 kilometres, it is the second-largest known impact basin on Pluto, after the Sputnik Planitia basin. Located to the northwest of Sputnik Planitia, Burney lies in heavily glaciated terrain covered in frozen nitrogen and methane. Burney is the only identified multi-ringed impact basin on Pluto, though its multiple rings have been heavily eroded due to age. It is estimated to be at least 4 billion years old, its interior marked by smaller impact craters.
