Titanian Northern Lakes (4)

Caption NASA originale:"In this image taken by the Cassini radar system, a previously unseen style of lakes is revealed. The lakes here assume complex shapes and are among the darkest seen so far on Titan.
The lake at the left is reminiscent both in form and scale of the flooded drainage system, Lake Powell in Utah and Arizona. However, the Titan lake has been filled with liquid methane and ethane rather than water. In the lake at right, older terrain may have been deeply cut by river valleys before it was flooded by the embaying lake.

This radar image was acquired Oct. 9, 2006, and is centered near 80° North Latitude and 357° West Longitude. It measures about 310 by 100 Km (such as about 190 by 62 miles). Smallest details in this image are about 500 mt (approx. 1.640 feet) across".
