Is that picture facing the south pole?

For somewhat not geologically-minded, what is reminding all of you about Miranda? I don't see the similarities really...

From The Planetary Society Blog:
"The interior of that south polar basin sure looks weird. All around the central peak are chevron-shaped ridgy features that bring to mind Miranda -- which, by the way, is very similar in size to Vesta."
