Description
English: Image of Titan taken during Huygens' descent, showing hills and topographical features that resemble a shoreline and drainage channels

Credit: ESA/en:NASA/Univ. of Arizona

From the original caption released with the image:

This composite was produced from images returned on January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows the boundary between the lighter-colored uplifted terrain, marked with what appear to be drainage channels, and darker lower areas.
These images were taken from an altitude of about 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) and a resolution of about 20 meters (about 65 feet) per pixel. The images were taken by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer, one of two NASA instruments on the probe.
