Those are surface ridges. Europa and some other icy worlds in the Solar System have them too.

Yep, still, they are very interesting geological features, as they can be indicative of activity below the surface in the form of subsurface oceans.

Surface ridges created by an alien rover using Michelin tires. Change my mind 😆
