Enceladus South Polar Map
As seen in this southern hemisphere map of Enceladus, the band of cratered terrain at 0 and 180 degrees longitude extends southward from the equator. However, poleward of about 55 degrees south latitude, the cratered terrain is interrupted and replaced by a conspicuously fractured circumpolar terrain that is nearly devoid of impact craters. In contrast to the very old north polar terrains, the south circumpolar terrains are among the youngest on the surface of Enceladus.
Within the south circumpolar region is a group of prominent parallel "stripes" made up of fractures that are delineated by relatively dark albedo markings flanking the sides of each
fracture. ASU-IPF-3074
