Caption:

This mosaic of three frames from the Huygens Descent Imager/ Spectral Radiometer (DISR) instrument provides unprecedented detail of the high ridge area including the flow down into a major river channel from different sources.

The Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer is one of two NASA instruments on the probe.
