Europa.
Liquid water oceans under the ice. Heat generated by gravitational tidal action causing volcanic vents to spew heat and nutrients. The color on the surface of the ice could indicate algae or just sulpher deposits from Io.

One thing not mentioned in the article is even though this may demonstrate that life CAN exist under ice sheets, I believe they failed to mention that the icy areas of our planet haven’t ALWAYS been icy. That’s not likely the case in the rest of our Solar System
