Nearly the full disk of Miranda can be seen in this clear-filter image taken by Voyager's narrow-angle camera. At this resolution, about 2.7 km (1.7 mi), only two distinct terrain types are visible. One is a bright, rugged, heavily-cratered region seen along the bottom of the disk and extending to the top in a narrow band. The second terrain type is a topographically lower, darker, grooved terrain along the two upper sides in this image. The dark areas had been visible for several days before closest approach in lower-resolution views of the satellite. Scarps, or cliffs, visible along the limbs have a rugged relief of several kilometers in height.
