amateurs Trevor Barry, Darryl Millika & Pat Nicholas and Anthony
Wesley have detected activity at latitudes greater than 60 degrees
north on Saturn This activity comprises dark spots and a light streak
or rift.

Images taken by Milika and Nicholas have also revealed some small
light spots at some other latitudes.
