-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Not sure if this has been brought up already, but Krun looks much younger than Cthulhu. Krun displays few, if any, well-preserved craters at the current resolution. That said, there are lot of candidates for eroded craters.
This gives me more faith in the idea that the dark equatorial areas to a large extent simply are equatorial highlands (Krun, like Cthulhu, does appear to be elevated above Sputnik), possibly with different origins. Related or not, here are some valleys cutting into Krun: This (western) part of Krun also appears to have a rather rough texture, and appears very young. -------------------- |
