The Leading Hemisphere of Enceladus
Caption NASA:"During a distant flyby encounter with Enceladus, Cassini imaged the moon's wrinkled Leading Hemisphere. 
At the scale visible here, this region of the surface is generally devoid of impact craters, suggesting that the terrain has been modified and renewed during the moon's history. 
To the North lies a heavily cratered and presumably older Region. The sinuous boundary of the geologically active South Polar Region is seen at bottom. North on Enceladus is toward the top of the image. 

The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Sept. 30, 2007. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 108.000 Km (such as about 67.000 miles) from Enceladus and at a Sun-Enceladus-Spacecraft, or phase, angle of 75°. 
Image scale is 644 meters (2111 feet) per pixel".
