Should note that the T50 swath found no correlations between rough terrain (or changes in radar brightness) and those near-IR bright streaks.

Yes that was a bit disappointing! And didn't a later VIMS image seem not to suggest mountains? Still there seems to be an uplift in the general topography going from South to North. (maybe explaining all those Ethane rain showers in Yalaing terra VIMS has been seeing! smile.gif )

I wanted to include this outstanding article as well ... too bad VIMS didn't have a quality view of Yalaing terra on Dec 20 2010 when possible liquid ponding in central Yalaing was present.
