Senkyo and Aaru Region
Caption NASA:"Named for other-worldly Paradises, the dark regions of Senkyo and Aaru comprise the center of this image of Saturn's moon Titan. The Egyptian fields of Aaru were Paradise for the god Osiris. This side of Titan, which always faces Saturn, is on the opposite side of the moon from Shangri-La and Adiri, the home to the Huygens probe. 
The craft touched down on the border between the lowland dunes of Shangri-La and the higher terrains of Adiri. Like Senkyo and Aaru, these Regions' namesakes reflect heavenly aspirations. North is up in this image. 
Senkyo is the Equatorial Region to the right of the center of the image. Aaru is above Senkyo. 

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Dec. 12, 2008 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 938 nanometers.The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 2,4 MKM (such as about 1,5 MMs) from Titan and at a Phase Angle of 35°.
Image scale is roughly 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".
