Distant Islands
An enormous island lies right in the middle of a section of Kraken Mare on Titan. The landmass, surrounded on all sides by liquid, is roughly the size of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Using radar data, researchers have mapped the elevation of islands such as this on Titan. What they find is a steady rise and then a flat “bench” existing near the shoreline. This is similar to islands on Earth, which show the same type of bench topography due to erosion from liquid water.
