Enhanced images from the Cassini-Huygens mission reveal a large endorheic drainage basin in Titan's northeastern polar region encompassing Ligeia Mare and other northern lakes. Geologic features in surrounding areas are strikingly similar to Earth-like terrains where: 1) erosion processes are controlled by climate, latitude, topographic relief, and structural deformation; 2) stratified deposition or seasonal varves are predicted as seen on Earth and Mars; 3) structural deformation is apparent, although primarily visible as fractures and faults, and possible crustal shortening, thickening, uplift and downwarping; and 4) ephemeral fluvial and pluvial processes dominate and are clearly seasonal.
