A fracture that runs horizontally across the center of the Europa image is about the same width as the freeway which runs along the bottom of the Providence image. North is to the top right of the Europa image, and the sun illuminates the surface from the east. The Europa image is centered at approximately 9 degrees north latitude and 274 degrees west longitude. Debris, piled at the base of the cliffs, can be resolved down to blocks the size of a house.

Europa showing an area where the icy surface has been broken into many separate plates, which have moved laterally and rotated. These plates are surrounded by a topographically lower matrix. This matrix material may have been emplaced as water, slush, or warm flowing ice, which rose up from below the surface. One of the plates is seen as a flat, lineated area in the upper portion of the image. The matrix in this area appears to consist of a jumble of many different sized chunks of ice.
