Ice Cusps on Europa
Europa's icy crust, photographed by the Galileo spacecraft, shows many unusual features. This image of Europa's southern hemisphere reveals dark, cusp-shaped features running from lower left to upper right. Europa is one of Jupiter's largest moons, and scientists believe it harbors oceans of water beneath its icy surface.
