In our Jan/Feb issue, we filled you in on some far-out facts about Pluto. One of the things scientists have recently learned about this dwarf planet is that it has a range of huge icy mountains.

Okay, so the mountains may not look huge in the photo above, but trust us (and science)—they are. Just how huge? Three times taller than Mount Everest!
And researchers say that these icy giants may still be in the process of growing.

Get ready for the new year ahead with the OWL January/February issue!
There’s a lot of fun stuff happening in 2016! Like OWL’s 40th birthday (hoot! hoot!). It’s also the 50th Super Bowl this year. We’re getting the party started with some tasty snacks on page 28.
We’re also still all about winter in this issue! Read up about mighty avalanches in “Insider” and the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association in “Incredible.” Plus, find out how many snowflakes fall in Canada every year (hint: it’s a lot) and get other ice-cold facts on page 20.
What’s your favourite thing in OWL January/February? Let us know!
