Caption NASA:"Caption NASA:"This Cassini Spacecraft image affords a view of Titan's South Polar Region: an area home to one of Titan's hydrocarbon "Lake Districts".

Titan's South Pole is illuminated to the right of the Terminator, near the bottom of the visible disk. The dark area near the bottom, in Titan's Mid-Southern Latitudes, is Mezzoramia. 
The wider, darker region near the Equator is named Senkyo. A "Lake District" (see also PIA11147) containing what scientists believe are lakes of hydrocarbons has been found surrounding Titan's South Pole. 
Lit Terrain seen here is on the Saturn-facing Side of Titan. North on Titan is up and rotated 27° to the right.

The image was taken with the Cassini Spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 15, 2009 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of Near-InfraRed Light centered at 938 nanometers. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 1,2 MKM (such as about 746.000 miles) from Titan and at a Sun-Titan-Spacecraft, or Phase, Angle of 55°. 

Image scale is roughly 7 Km (about 4 miles) per pixel".
