Are those branching features sticking up above the ground, or are they carved into the ground. Can't tell which way the lighting is going.

The real "Europa Report" here. So happy to be inspired yet again by the great work done at NASA.

Amazing! I wonder if the colors are real or if they are inserted afterwards.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.

Do we know what makes the reddish patches here and there?

What are those highway-like structures?

Cool to see all the streets, they must be enormous
A little more about what you're seeing:
Images of Europa from the Galileo spacecraft reveal a complicated terrain of grooved linear ridges and crustal plates which seem to have broken apart and rafted into new positions. That could indicate subsurface water or slush. In the image above, blue tints represent relatively old ice surfaces while reddish regions may contain material from more recent internal geological activity.
The quote above is specifically referring to an image on the page from which I took the quote:
https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1998/a...
But I believe the stills which comprise the video fit the same overall description.
The mission page is https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/galileo/in-depth/
And I think the images can be found at https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/volumes/galileo.html
