Mandjet Chasma is a chasma on Pluto's moon Charon. Mandjet Chasma is {{cvt|385|km}} long, and about {{cvt|5-7|km}} deep with an average width of {{cvt|30|km}}. The chasma is part of a global tectonic belt: a series of canyons, scarps, and troughs that traverse the face of Charon along the northern edge of Vulcan Planitia.{{cite journal |last1=Moore |first1=J.
