Europa
Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.
Yes, Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, has a subsurface ocean covered by a thick layer of ice. The ice on Ganymede is not only on its surface but also extends to depths of tens of kilometers.
Europa is an icy moon of Jupiter, and its surface is covered with a layer of water ice. It does not have dirt or gravel like we find on Earth.
The planet is Jupiter
Europa is the brightest moon of Jupiter because its surface is covered in smooth ice, making it highly reflective. This icy surface reflects more sunlight compared to the other moons with darker, more cratered terrains, despite being further away from Jupiter.
Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. It is an ice-covered object larger than the planet Mercury.

The moon you are referring to is Europa. Europa is covered in a layer of ice, and its surface appears cracked due to tectonic forces caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons. Beneath the icy crust, scientists believe there may be a subsurface ocean that could potentially harbor life.
Europa is a moon of Jupiter known for its ice-covered surface. Beneath this icy crust, scientists believe there may be a subsurface ocean of liquid water, making it one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for signs of extraterrestrial life. The surface features include ridges and cracks, indicating geologic activity.
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, is not a volcano. It is composed mainly of water ice and rock, and its surface is covered with various geological features including impact craters, ridges, and grooves. Volcanic activity has not been detected on Ganymede.
Enceladus, its also has some relatively complex organic molecules...leading this BIOLOGIST to think it had/has some life on it. Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter is covered with ice

Volcanoes.
The planet is Jupiter
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
