Today, Cassini has a 50,000 km encounter of Tethys' south polar region. This should provide us with a great view of the south polar region impact basin.

For more info on this encounter, check out my blog entry for it:

as well as a simulated view from near close-approach (actually 3 hours before for reasons I can only wink.gif at):
