Very first picture from the surface of titan ever by mankind.

looks like it landed on solid ground. They wern't sure whether it would land on surface or in some methane lake or something since the place seems so mixed up with solid surface and liquids.

Edit:

ESA took the above image down for some reason. Maybe it's not titan at all and really is africa. hake:

they replaced it with

So I don't know if the first pic of the surface is titan at all. I think their confused.
