Quidlivun[1] is a small depression on the surface of Pluto corresponding to the central caldera of Wright Mons, southwest of the Norgay Montes and adjacent to Morgoth Macula. It was discovered by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015 and named after the Inuit land of the dead on the Moon.
The name is a misspelling[2] of the Inuktitut qudlivun "(those) above us", where souls go after being purified in the Underworld, adlivun "(those) beneath us".[3]
