Ruach Planitia is a roughly circular flat plain and probable cryolava lake on Neptune's moon Triton. It is located in Triton's northern hemisphere within Monad Regio and directly borders the cryovolcanic plains of Cipango Planum to the east and Tuonela Planitia to the west. Ruach Planitia, along with the other three walled plains of Triton, is one of the youngest and flattest features observed on the moon.
