The researchers of the Tethys Observation Facility call the time this moon is in the shadow of Saturn ‘Shadow Winter’.
Cycles. Blender 2.92.
There are two a.n.t. landscapes. A sun light is placed near the Sun in the background image and pointed at the landscape. A point light is also near the Sun to make it brighter. The background image plane casts no shadow by turning that off with Object Properties → Visibility → Ray Visibility. The landscape materials are all procedural. Some sub-surface scattering helps give the impression of ice.

Re: Shadow Winter
Very nice, I never would have thought to overlap two landscapes like that.

Re: Shadow Winter
Thanks everyone. I did it for the Blender Artist's weekend challenge. Theme is dark cold winter. https://blenderartists.org/t/challenge- ... en/1339318 I was tied for first place but better pictures have moved up now.
@Spacekdet Thanks!
@Joe Many landscapes I see made by others have several terrains. Distant mountains, closeup ground, various features, etc. Some parts aren't even connected or overlapped in many cases. It is all for the camera's view.
@Mikom Simple is good, usually.
