The best Voyager 2 image of Titania, 1580 km across. The trailing hemisphere is towards the top. Note the crater near the bottom that is cut by a faulted valley, known as Belmont chasma. The brightness of some of the other sunlit scarps suggests that these reveal cleaner or perhaps just more freshly-exposed ice than is present across most of the surface. The topographically subdued crater near the top, Gertrude, is 275 km across and is the largest definite crater in the Uranus system.
