The bright spots appear to be in the walls and at the bottom of seemingly deep craters. Since ice has been detected below the surface , It could be what they call a cryovolcano . Water or ice near the surface transforming into a water vapor plume. It would seem more likely that or sunlight reflecting off of some exposed ice. It sounds like we'll find out soon.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
