Iapetus - Voyager 2
Saturn's Satellite Iapetus from 910,000 km
Voyager 2 image of Saturn's satellite Iapetus from 910,000 km.
The north pole is just to the left of the terminator, about
one-quarter of the way from the bottom of the disk.
Near the pole, right on the terminator, is the 144 km diameter
crater, Roland, centered at 73 N, 25 W. This lighted portion
of Iapetus is the side facing away from Saturn. The dark
Cassini Regio can be seen at the extreme left. Iapetus is
1450 km in diameter, and this image has a resolution of 8 km/ pixel.
