This image was taken from a distance of 344 000 kilometres and shows details at Titan's surface never seen before. The image shows only surface brightness, no topographic shading. The smallest features are less than 10 kilometres across.
In other areas, the surface boundaries are less distinct perhaps due to different geological processes or atmospheric effects. There are some linear features that could be impact craters but the fact that many features are linear suggests that other geological processes are shaping the surface.
