Kraken Mare (the Map)
Kraken Mare is - so far - the largest known body of liquid on the Surface of Titan. 
It was discovered in 2007 by the Cassini Probe and was so named in 2008 after the Kraken, a legendary sea monster. Kraken Mare is believed to be the largest of numerous seas and lakes in Titan's North Polar Region. 
It should be a sea of Hydrocarbons whose discovery was further confirmed by Radar Imagery. Only a portion of the Kraken Sea has been imaged by radar, but its wider extent is indicated in Visible Light images that indicate a larger expanse. Kraken Mare is believed to be similar in size to the Caspian Sea. An island in the sea is named Mayda Insula.
As part of the proposed "Titan/Saturn System Mission", a probe would splash down on Kraken Mare in order to study and scrutinize its composition, depth and numerous other properties.

Nota Lunexit: "...and numerous other properties...". Quali??? Lifeforms living into it, maybe???...
