More about the book
Exploring the potential of icy moons in our solar system reveals their unique geological features, such as cryovolcanism, which creates extraordinary landscapes like glaciers, ice mountains, and canyons. These moons, orbiting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, may offer more than habitable planets, as many harbor hidden oceans beneath their icy surfaces. The book delves into the fascinating interplay between ice and water, highlighting the significant lessons learned from these distant sea worlds, including Ceres and Pluto.
