Triton - Voyager 2
Color image of the southern hemisphere of Neptune's moon, Triton
Voyager 2 image showing the southern hemisphere of Triton.
At 2,700 km diameter, Triton is Neptune's largest satellite.
This image was made using about a dozen Voyager 2 frames.
The large, pinkish colored south polar cap is at the bottom of
the image. North of the cap the surface is generally darker
and redder in color. This area exhibits a plethora of unusual
morphologic features, including the long lineations at the center
of the frame.
