Rev205 (May 31 – Jul 2 ’14) has begun. http://www.ciclops.org/view/7892/Rev205 There is a Titan flyby (T102) and Cassini’s approach appears quite similar to T101. ISS will again image the southern sub-Saturn hemisphere. This will examine the interesting southern temperate zone where VIMS and ISS had imaged several temperate lakes just to the east of T102’s field of view. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/pdf/2766.pdf Looking at that great ISS map one is drawn to a small dark region near 330 W and 45 S. This little place has had good VIMS http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA09034 and SAR (T50) coverage and I wonder if it is considered a temperate lake candidate?

This area of T50 appears not to have been characterized as a geomorphic unit and sits between Hummocky and Plains terrains. SarTopo suggest its relatively low in elevation and there may be a draining channel or two nearby. Perhaps someone has denoised and destriped the PDS version of this area; that may help decide its morphology. (? JohnVV)!
