i thought this one was interesting,notice the almost wall type formation blog.wired.com...

Ah, ok i think i see what you mean. Its just a mountainous region. At one point in time some of these moons around Saturn and also Jupiter were sort of volcanic, and with volcanic phenomenen you do get uplift. Sorry I cant answer that very well, but someone else maybe able to help. Also you should check Jupiters moon Io, I think that has active volcanoes on it

thats a interesting theory i know there was a theory going around that our moon might have a molten core which at some point in time might have been active

The 892-mile-wide moon also has a unique belt of mountains running around its equator, seen on no other moon in the solar system, with peaks reaching up to 12 miles high, or a little more than twice the height of Mt. Everest.

Says it in the link. Just read down a littlemore. Incredible pictures.

Those mountains around its equator really is something! Incredible pictures, But I wonder what created those mountains like that?

The volcano explanation just doesn't cut it for me :/

Regardless awesome pictures.

Interesting.

Looks like the moon itself has developed the spinal cord

very nice..

now why cant we see pictures of the backside of the moon that clear and clean?

IMHO, Iapetus is the oddest moon in our Solar System.
