Well, for those who really like RADAR SAR swaths, today is a good day for you. The T13 RADAR swath from April, THE ENTIRE SWATH, has been publically released on the Photojournal.

Actually, I think you might've nailed it twice. I'm wondering if there could be two types of porous materials:
The nanoporous stuff: which could be ice converted to clathrate which under certain conditions would give it a nanoporous structure. (Candidate for low density cryopumice cobbles? Is that what we see in the Huygens images of Titan's surface?) And the larger holey stuff (mega-porous?): rotten terrain. Maybe materials that have contained weaknesses or veins of other materials that got dissolved by peroclating solvents, or just physically beaten out of by aeolian, pluvial, fluvial, or tidal action. (Could this be the stuff we see on the opposite shore of Huygens channel - The side that is not real well resolved?) I've been trying to dig into the T8 Swath and really look at the correlation between visible (DISR) and RADAR (T8 + T13) at the Huygens landing site. I'm not sure which thread it belongs in, however.... -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
