We cannot be certain (yet!) but current theories speculate that the moon Europa may be covered with ice, and that beneath the ice there might be oceans. There do appear to be ridges in the surface, which might be caused by cracks forming in the ice and then the liquid water beneath freezing as the ice sheets come back together.
How do the four Galilean moons differ from each other?
Ganymede is the largest moon and it is thought to have liquid water under the surface. Callisto is the second largest and has the most craters of any known planet, moon, or asteroid. Io is the most volcanically active moon in the solar system. Europa is the smallest of the Galilean moons and is the most likely to have liquid water.
