* Astronomy

Take a look at this Earth image on Google Maps:

Then take a look at this image:

Ok, now let's look at this "hole" with more detail:

do you see... thos little ISLANDS at the north?

And, do you see how the "hole" is warmer at the end of night rather than in middle afternoon?

This place is near a volcanic region, so wouldn't it be possible that some lava under some ice generated this lake?

The PDF docs states this is Themis image 18315002 but I am not able to find the original image at Themis offical site. Any help?
