Sikun Labyrinthus is a highland region near Titan's south pole. This region consists of a dense network of channels that feed into a wide river channel. This river channel then runs north and east to the southern tip of Mezzoramia. The graphic below shows Sikun, in the bottom right part of the image taken from the T39 SAR swath. The southern tip of Mezzoramia can be seen at the very top, with the large river flowing into it (though it is likely dry during this season). The white dashed line shows the extent of the river beyond the SAR swath as seen in ISS images of the region.
