Underwater robot probes
depths of Loch Ness
A robot has been used to investigate what lies
in the depths of Loch Ness.Kongsberg Maritime used its torpedo-shaped Munin
drone, which is equipped with sonar imaging, to survey the bottom of the loch.Fresh
discoveries made by the robot are to be announced at an event near Loch Ness
later on Wednesday.One piece of information that has been released is that
Munin did not confirm a claim
made in January of a new deepest point in the loch.A tour boat skipper
Keith Stewart recorded a depth of 889ft (270.9m) on sonar equipment he uses. The
official maximum depth, which still remains in place, is 754ft (229.8m).Among
material Munin did detect was the wreck of an unidentified sunken boat.
