I am attaching some excerpts so others can better tell if a visit might be worth the trouble.

Saturn moon [Tethys] once had an ocean: One of Saturn's moons may once have harboured a liquid ocean beneath its icy surface, scientists have told a major conference in Houston, Texas. [2008 March 14]
[...]
They propose that Tethys' orbit around Saturn was once perturbed by gravitational interactions with another moon - Dione - which made Tethys' orbit more "eccentric".
The resulting tidal forces caused frictional heating of Tethys' interior.
But at some point, the orbital interaction between Tethys and Dione was broken, and Tethys fell back into a less eccentric orbit. As it did so, it began to cool.
