Any report of ammonia yet? It has been predicted that eruptions might happen on this icy moon due to its resonance, creating a slightly eccentric orbit which generates internal heat from tidal action. Aqueous ammonia doesn't freeze unitl 176K, so a viscous liquid state is deemed possible, if not likely.
