A report on Cryovolcano and Miranda (moon)

Doom Mons, one of the most reliably identified cryovolcanoes on Saturn's moon Titan

Plumes of Enceladus, feeding Saturn's E Ring, seem to arise from the "Tiger Stripes" near the south pole.

Approaching the 7 December 2007 equinox Miranda produced brief solar eclipses over the center of Uranus.

Indirect evidence of cryovolcanic activity was later observed on several other icy moons of the Solar System, including Europa, Titan, Ganymede, and Miranda.

- Cryovolcano

Craters on Miranda also appear to possess softened edges, which could be the result either of ejecta or of cryovolcanism.
