The image above is an approximate natural colour image of Europa, taken from the Galileo spacecraft. This image is a good reference for the general colour of the scene. I will not go into detail how the colour and the features of the satellite emerged; it is not relevant in terms of the context of the machinima, majority of it is only suggestion/theory anyway.

The image above is a close-up of Conamara Chaos. It reveals craggy 250-metre high peaks, and a jumble of smooth plates of ice.

The final image is an enhanced-colour representation of part of Conamara Chaos, revealing ice 'rafts' as wide as 10-kilometres across.
Although Europa is smooth in relation to other satellites in the solar system, its surface still seems to be chaotic and hazardous. In saying that, it will provide a nice environment for the characters to traverse through; and it shouldn't be too difficult to create.
