This image of Iapetus was acquired by the Voyager 1 spacecraft on 14 November 1980. The image was created by combining 3 images taken through the orange, green and blue filters of Voyager 1's camera. Voyager 1 did not approach Iapetus as closely as Voyager 2; consequently, the image is of much lower resolution. Despite the low resolution, the image still shows a bright, heavily cratered icy terrain.
