The crater is masked by the resulting geysers. My prediction: It will be found to be the result of a recent large meteoric collision on the southern end of Enceladus.

"October's flyby is anticipated to scrape a runnel of at least 18 feet deep in the surface of Enceladus. It is not anticipated that this should cause any disruption to Cassini's orbit as the added speed coming from geysers created by this burrowing should carry it on its way." "The Enceladians are looking for a way to deflect this alien probe before it returns and chases the innocent women and children as it skims the parks and playgrounds!" That is serious math to make sure it doesn't just make a big crater. We rock! Holy, how close are they going to push it???
