Also… if that is (in fact) water liquid being ejected from within, that means somewhere inside the moon is a region of warmth strong enough to melt ice. Theory is that where there is liquid water, there may be life. When we venture to the bottom of the our oceans we encounter these hot vents that are poisoned with acidic chemicals, heat the water to extreme temperatures and get virtually no sunlight. yet life flourishes in these places.

Then what would it look like. No creature or thing could live in such freezing temperatures. also there is only a little bit of water in the southern pole of the moon. It is true that there is organic substance under the ice where the heat is being generated. Yet we do not know how long the water will last long enough for life to be exposed on the plant. The water may even have chemicals such a ammonia and other nasty bio-hazardous stuff in it. The nearest energy which may last for more than some billions of years. I don't think life could actually exist. If there is some possibility than what would it look like? If there is a possible chance of life on Enceladus. Then what would it look like.
