As overburden pressure drops on the subsurface ocean, conditions approach water's triple point — where ice, liquid, and vapor coexist — and the ocean begins to boil near 0°C. Rising gas cracks the ice, sculpting surface features like Miranda's distinctive coronae. Cross-section view with live P-T phase diagram tracking the ocean's descent toward the triple point. Based on Strom et al. (Planetary Science Journal, 2024) and Nature Astronomy (2025).","shortDescription":"When the ice cracks, the ocean boils"}}
