Stereo-Enceladus: ridges, trough, cracks, faults and much more!
Caption NASA originale:"Images from different directions allow construction of stereo views such as this, which are helpful in interpreting the complex topography. 
This view of an area about 60 Km across shows several different kinds of ridge-and-trough topography, indicative of a variety of horizontal forces near the surface of this 505-Km diameter satellite. 
Several different kinds of deformation are visible and a small population of impact craters shows that this is some of the younger terrain on Enceladus. Sunlight illuminates the scene from the bottom. Interestingly, the topographic relief is only about one kilometer, which is quite low for a small, low-gravity satellite. However, this is consistent with other evidence that points to interior melting and resurfacing in Enceladus' history. The images for this anaglyph were taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera, from distances ranging from 10.750 Km - red image) to 24.861 Km - blue image) from Enceladus".
