A small, icy moon that orbits Saturn probably has an underground saltwater ocean, according to scientists who have found sodium in tiny ice grains that have spewed out of the moon and into Saturn's outermost ring.
Researchers have wondered if the moon Enceladus might contain a secret ocean ever since NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew by in 2005 and discovered giant plumes of fine, icy particles shooting up into space.

I think they also theorize a salt ocean underground on Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons.
