The icy(?) surface part reminds me of some real world rock or mineral or
something but I couldn't begin to name any names.  Maybe I'm just thinking of
shale, slate, or similar.  No I'm not,  it's a flaky translucent stuff... well
never mind.
The stark differences between the peaks and surrounding ground is interesting
looking.
Saturn's rings look good but they don't seem scaled right to me.  Yes, in fact I
just did a quick check and this has a ring radius of planet diameter whereas
Saturn actually has a ring radius (max. visible) of about 1 and 1/6 times the
planets diameter.  But real close anyhow :-)  I'm just being picky about it is
all, please excuse me.
