An illustrated interpretation of the Sikun Labyrinthus area on the Saturnian moon Titan based on radar scans and imaging data taken by the Cassini spacecraft with a variety of instruments. The relative height of the surface is based on estimates based on the fact that liquids flow down the mountain. Photo: NASA/JPL/ESA/SSI and M. Malaska/B. Jonsson –
