Strangley they say they have no evidence at all for liquid on the surface, which seems to contradict what was said at the radar results press briefing.

Images of the medium-sized moon Iapetus taken from more than 100,000 kilometers away show several white peaks poking high above dark terrain on the moon's leading hemisphere. Preliminary analysis by Tillman Denk (Freie University, Germany) and colleagues suggests some of these peaks might be 10 to 20 kilometers high, which would rival or perhaps even exceed Mars's giant volcano Olympus Mons for being the highest mountains in the solar system. Scientists will have to wait until the September 2007 close Iapetus flyby to nail down the altitudes.

They must be referring to this image:

Wasn't sure where to post, but this spot seemed a likely candidate.

There's a new CHARM presentation posted at the Cassini website.

It deals with the CDA results.
