Several surface features on Titan have been interpreted as cryovolcanic in origin, however, alternative explanations have been proposed and the existence of cryovolcanism on Titan is still debatable. Here we re-examine candidate cryovolcanic features using a combination of Cassini data sets from RADAR and VIMS to re-examine these features. We find that Sotra Facula is the strongest candidate for a cryovolcanic origin, the interpretation being strongly supported by new topographic data. We find that some features previously interpreted as cryovolcanic are erosional or fluvial in origin and that the nature of other candidate cryovolcanic features is still uncertain.
