Sorry Rarhodes001, you are right about both spots but the Io volcanoes are on Io, which is a moon of Jupiter, not a moon of Saturn. It is one of the 4 Galilean Moons of Jupiter discovered on January 7th 1610 which were the first satellites to be found around any of the Solar System planets except the Earth. There is also an asteroid 85 Io.
The Caloris Basin, also called Caloris Planitia, is an impact crater on Mercury about 1350km in diameter, one of the largest impact basins in the solar system. Caloris is Latin for heat and the basin is so-named because the Sun is almost directly overhead every second time Mercury passes perihelion. The crater is surrounded by a ring of mountains about two kilometers tall.
The Caloris Basin was discovered on images taken by the Mariner 10 probe in 1974. It was situated on the terminator - the line dividing the daytime and nighttime hemispheres - at the time the probe passed by, and so half the crater has never been imaged.

Answer is the Caloris Basin. However, one person giving all the answers wrongly stated that Io orbited around Saturn. Actually, Io orbits around Jupiter.
