A news release has just appeared http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-172 concerning the discovery of possible 'tropical lakes' in the Shangri La area. A report will appear in Nature today. The area of Shangri La appears in the VIMS map below

@machii

Yes even though we've gotten some tantalizing peeks trough the atmosphere, our exploration of Titan are quite in the same early stages but not quite like Mariner 9 which were one orbiter, rather like the early set of flyby missions of Mars, since Cassini do not approach Titan close that often.

(And I still cannot bend my head around the word dunes, even less talk about a 'desert' - it is rather one alien and cryogenic kind of snowdrift on this moon.)
