I started a new topic, as we are no longer in the first orbit phase

If you're right, Habukaz, then this makes two different sets of features that resemble cryovolcanic versions of fire fountains. At region 5, here, very bright effluent has been emplaced, while in other areas, near the scratch-like wrinkle features, dark material seems to have been emplaced.

I wonder if the same processes are generating both types of features, the difference being the specific type of "lava" being generated. I know that, on the Moon, differences in the lavas feeding the various fire fountains generated glasses ranging in color from green to red to black -- could different cryo-lava constituents determine whether you get a high-albedo unit emplaced vs. a low-albedo unit?
