Conamara Chaos is a region ofchaotic terrain onJupiter's moonEuropa. It is named afterConnemara (Irish:Conamara) inIreland due to its similarly rugged landscape.[2]

Conamara Chaos is a landscape produced by the disruption of the icy crust of Europa. The region consists of rafts of ice that have moved around and rotated. Surrounding these plates is a lower matrix of jumbled ice blocks which may have been formed as water, slush, or warm ice rose up from below the surface. The region is cited as evidence for a liquid ocean below Europa's icy surface.
