Cryovolcanism discovered...

on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn? Recent Cassini spacecraft imagery shows an area called Hotei Arcus that may be constructed by ice volcanoes.

If true, these would be the second set of cryovolcanoes in the solar system: Cassini also imaged active ice eruptions on Enceladus, another Saturnian moon.
