CRUISERS interested in
denizens of the deep are sure to
be excited to learn about a new
attempt to verify the existence
of Scotland’s famed Loch Ness
Monster.
Dubbed “Operation
Groundtruth,” it involves the
deployment of an underwater
robot to search for the creature,
after a retired fisherman claimed
to have found a crevice large
enough to house the beast.
Using sonar imaging the device
can map depths of up to 1.5km
but has so far failed to find a so called
“Nessie trench”.
Loch Ness is actually only
about 230m deep but has
exceptionally difficult visibility
due to high levels of peat in the
surrounding soil.
