Morphological modeling of this body by Lorenz and Lunine suggests that it contains localized karst terranes created by erosion of ammonium hydrates within its Ih-phase ice bedrock.

Kargel has proposed potassium-40 leaching of its felsic rocks by methanal as one source for its high argon concentrations. Its features include a formation known as "the snail," which may be an icy plug atop a cryovolcano, and a continent-size high albedo zone named Xanadu discovered using Infrared Mapping Spectrometry to peer beneath its nitrogenous atmosphere. For ten points, identify this moon discovered by Huygens in 1655, the largest satellite of Saturn.
