The IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature approved three more names for Titan: Kraken Mare, Ligeia Mare, and Mayda Insula. Kraken Mare is the name of the largest north polar sea and Mayda Insula is the name of the island at the northern end of Kraken Mare. Ligeia Mare is the large sea to the east of Kraken Mare.
