Sikun-Labyrinthus-poster-50percent-scale

Artistic speculation of a relative elevation model for Sikun Labyrinthus, Titan. In this graphic, a crop of the T39 SAR RADAR Swath (Planetary Photojournal PIA10219) has been draped over the colorized elavation model.

 

This graphic attempts to use channel and valley relationships in different terrain units to infer relative elevation in the region around Sikun Labyrinthus on Titan.

Low order --> high order = upstream --> downstream = higher elevation --> lower elevation.

 

While many of the terrain units could be placed on a relative scale, others are speculative. So this is partly artistic speculation rather than hard science. Still, most of the observed relationships seem to fit the model.

 

Pixel values are relative, not absolute. Blue indicates lower relative elevations, while yellows and orange indictes higher relative elevations. North is at top in the image.
