This is the best Cassini image of Enceladus so far:

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/imag...eiImageID=26006

Some relief is visible along the terminator, including what looks like positive relief near top. The distance from Enceladus is 765,000 km. The subspacecraft point seems to be at roughly lat=5, lon=270. This would put this feature at roughly lat=41, lon=120.

I wonder if Cassini will see any changes to Encelaus since the Voyager Flybys.
