The color images taken by the Huygens probe during its descent reveal a major contrast between a dark area apparently made up of wet sand and white and bright elevated terrain composed of multiple channels. I have the feeling that those white and bright hills consist of ice.What kind of ice? perhaps water ice, or a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules, methane or ethane for instance.<br />And if it's really composed of ice, it's not forbidden to think that the channels on its edges are fractures rather than rivers, especially if those ice blocks or "icebergs" are moving on the wet sand.<br />Regarding Titan meteorology, if the hypothesis is correct, it's likely that this supposed ice can evaporate and form clouds.And then, it can rain or snow depending on the environmental temperature. <br /><br />www.titanexploration.com
