Enceladus is now known to be a youthful, geologically active place. Striping Enceladus' south pole are four or five fissures -- casually referred to as "tiger stripes" -- which are now known to be the source of eruptions of relatively warm water ice. The eruptions create an atmosphere near Enceladus' south pole, but nowhere else on the satellite.
