Information on the current rev has been posted on the Ciclops 'looking ahead' page. This includes the Titan targeted encounter (pretty well- detailed observational timeline here), and a Voyager-class flyby of Janus, with ISS observations at around 160,000km. This won't be the closest remaining pass of Janus (I think the last few weeks of the prime mission have two closer passes) but it should reveal some previously unseen territory towards the south pole (or unseen at a reasonable distance anyhow)

Aah, that's very nice. Looks like the pole is close to that comparatively fresh small crater about one third of the way up the terminator. The view can't be exactly pole on because you can see some terrain 'setting' over the limb at lower right as it rotates - just enough to make rough and ready 3D viewing work, albeit imperfectly.
