It's about minus 180 celsius on Titan, so it's pretty frigid - but luckily all methane and ethane icebergs would sink (they're denser than the liquid phase) so there's no risk of a collision. :-)
That said, I've been following Cassini/Huygens from the get-go, and this iconic image of sunlight reflected off an alien lake is pretty mind-blowing. You might like to know that radar evidence suggests there's next-to-no wave action on the Titanian lakes, and no tides.
