The Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR) detected from high latitudes orbits (between 30 ° and 60 °) showed elliptical polarization. The data set used here investigates all the 2007 and 2008 high latitude orbits which go as high as 80 ° in latitude. We show that the SKR is elliptically polarized at moderately high latitudes (> 30 °), as already reported. Surprisingly, we also show that at very high latitude (>~ 70 °), the SKR polarization is clearly circular again. We present a statistical study of the dependence of SKR polarization as a function of latitude, local time and distance of the observer. A possible dependence of the SKR polarization on the observer's local time is pointed out. A case study is detailed, in which we follow the variation of SKR polarization along an inclined orbit. Implications in terms of physical interpretation are debated.
