Near its north pole are the Gharib and Sindbad craters and the Samarkand sulci. Its south pole has the Camphor, Alexandria, Cairo, Baghdad, and Damascus sulci, which are colloquially known as "tiger stripes" and have intense geyser activity that it is though to give rise to the E ring. It is locked in a 1:2 resonance with Dione, and its orbit lies between those of Mimas and Tethys. Like Europa, it likely has a large layer of subsurface water, and like Io its interior is be kept warm by tidal forces from its host planet. It and Triton display the only known examples of active cryovolcanism, and a recent Cassini flyby found traces of organic compounds erupting from its surface. It has the highest albedo of any object in the solar system because its surface is covered in fine-grained ice. For ten points, name this icy moon of Saturn.
