The brightest moon of Saturn, Enceladus, has a smooth, almost featureless surface covered with ice. However, at the south pole is the tiger stripe region, several ridges from which gigantic geysers spew water thousands of kilometers out into space and form one of Saturn’s rings. The geysers come from an ocean of liquid water underneath the ice.
What Сan You Do Here:
- this tour is held only on Tuesdays, because specifically on this day that the greatest activity of geysers at the pole can be observed;
- for fans of outdoor activities and winter sports there will be an opportunity to make a high-speed descent in low gravity conditions on the slope of one of the geysers (ski or snowboard; individually or in a group).
