    "Islands in the stream"... possible 'islands' on a dark plain

    Islands, rivers and methane springs - latest images of Titan

    These images from the Huygens DISR instrument show new features, such as evidence of flow around 'islands', deposits of water ice and channels which could have been created by methane springs.

    Two new Titan features - water ice and methane springs
