There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.

Simulations show that subsurface oceans on small moons may hit boiling conditions, potentially creating features like Miranda’s distinctive ridges.

That’s also true for the other moons that provide the gravitational stress. As a result, the internal oceans may actually ...
