I heard about a peak on Iapetus that may be taller than Olympus Mons on Mars. I was wondering if the RADAR instrument will be used in the January encounter to verify this. What is the maximum distance the RADAR can be used?

Wow, and this is three or four days before closest approach! What is the highest resolution imaging Cassini will attain (on this flyby)? It has been said before, but with all the changes made, I am a bit confused.
