Where is Titan’s methane lake region found?

Quick Answer

Titan’s methane lakes are mainly near its north pole, with many also in the south polar region. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon.

The Full Story

Titan’s lakes and seas are found mostly near the moon’s poles, especially the north pole. These bodies of liquid are not water but mostly methane and ethane, existing because Titan is extremely cold. NASA’s Cassini mission used radar to map lakes such as Kraken Mare and Ligeia Mare. Titan is the only world besides Earth known to have stable liquid on its surface, although the liquid is a very different chemistry.
