Telemachus and Teiresias
Original caption:"The Northern Polar Region of Saturn's moon Tethys seen in this Cassini flyby image is a ponderously ancient surface. 
Above the prominent peaked crater Telemachus are the remnants of a very old crater (at the 10 o'clock position relative to Telemachus) named Teiresias. The ancient impact site is so badly overprinted and eroded by impact weathering and degradation that all that remains is a circular pattern of hummocks that mark where the old crater rim existed. 
This view is centered on terrain at approximately 1,2° South Latitude and 342° West Longitude on Tethys. The view is rotated so that North is about 40° to the right. 
This clear filter view was taken during Cassini's close approach to Tethys on Sept. 24, 2005. The image was acquired using the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera at a distance of approximately 69,200 kilometers (43,000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 21°. Image scale is 410 mt per pixel".
