Enceladus
It has organic materials and basic chemical building blocks - gases, carbon dioxide, and monoxide (
Nasa, 2019).
If it has similar chemical building blocks to Earth, life forms will be able to survive with these materials.
The Ice and gas shooting out of the white smokers of Enceladus contain large amounts of hydrogen. (NASA/JPL-Caltech April 13, 2017 )

Has geysers, seen blasting sheets of water into the solar system, has an ocean under layers of ice, chemically rich water. There is also lots of friction which is heating the ice and turning into liquid water (Nasa, 2019).
There is a source of water and a chance of a very habitable ocean world (Life, 2019).
Icy moons like Enceladus have large reservoirs of water where life can exist. Enceladus, in particular, emits water vapor that survives in the freezing conditions (Strategies of modern solar system exploration, 2019).
Living things can thrive in the oceans below Enceladus (Wall, 2017).
Possibly is heated by a tidal mechanism. The tiger stripes are radiating heat. When Enceladus rotates around Saturn friction causes it to heat up (Life, 2019).
Possible Hydrothermal Vents (
Nasa, 2019).
Even though it is still cold, it is possible for life to live in areas that are cold, by taking a look at life in Antarctica
South pole region is warm (Life, 2019).
Energy Source
The tiger stripes which are 75 of miles long and hundreds of miles deep are alot like fault lines on Earth (Life, 2019)
Fault lines on Earth are from earthquakes which shows that there is some form of energy that is moving Enceladus (Life, 2019)
Tectonically active South pole, showing how there is an energy source (Kieffer, 2008)
Energy transported to surface by thermal conduction (Life, 2019)
