Cryovolcanic Processes on Europa and Their Surface Expressions

Quick fact

Cryovolcanic eruptions on Europa may send water plumes up to 200 kilometers into space, potentially providing a direct way to sample the moon's hidden ocean without landing.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a world where volcanoes erupt water instead of lava. On Jupiter's icy moon Europa, that may be happening—and it could rewrite what we know about where life might exist.
