    I don't see colonies under the ice as much as giant drilling stations. Maybe on crawling treads and pontoons. Hmmm, maybe researchers diving into the dark ocean hoping to find the complex organisms found under Europa's ice. Hyper-hockey matches with rocket-powered suits (George Alec Effinger did something similar once in a short story). A crippled drill station threatened by a massive predicted fumarole.

    MOON SPOOGE!

    Well at least the underwater aliens should have no incentive to conquer or kill us.

    Then again, the ocean itself could be sentient... Let's send a manned ship to do a flyby and see if the crew doesn't kill each other.

    I always wanted to see the aliens from Cocoon, The Abyss and the Signs aliens knife fight each other.

    "Ice Volcano" just sounds so damn cool.

    But, in this vast underground sea, are there also dinosaurs and monkey-men?

    Ice Volcanoes of Enceladus would be a great title for a story. Especially one written in the fifties.

    A correction: Carolyn Porco is the lead for the Imaging Science Subsystem (the camera), one of the twelve instruments onboard Cassini, not for Cassini itself.
