Location of the Coleta de Dados Colles on the dwarf planet Pluto.

The Coleta de Dados Colles are a cluster of hills ("colles") on the smooth plains of Sputnik Planum on Pluto.[1] The hills were informally named in July 28, 2015 by the research team of the New Horizons mission after the first Brazilian satellite, the Satélite de Coleta de Dados ("Satellite for Data Collecting" in Portuguese). So, the ridge's name means "Data Collecting Colles." The name has yet to be recognized by the IAU.
