Good point. At these temperatures, 250F below or 100C below or so, water
acts like a rock. No liquid water here. They may be silicate rocks or
something similar, but the rest of the moons of Saturn are ice covered if
not made up mostly of ice, so it's not unreasonable to think the surface of
Titan is predominately ices of some sort. The preliminary view of the
imaging team is that they might be ice blocks.

Anyone remember reading a scifi (can't remember the name, maybe
"Triton") where they used the ice as a building material because
it was so solid, on Triton?
