If active, what about some type of water slurry cryomagma? This would flow out like lava here on Earth, down the sides of whatever formation is there, or build up into a dome if thats the case. As it cools, it would probably frost over leaving a fuzzy looking, semi-transparent film, depending on non-water particle content. Still looking through research papers on the topic but the topic of what happens after the cryomagma is out in the open, is less interesting to discuss.
