Unexpected results of Loch Ness monster hunt

The explorers eventually found a "monster" hiding in the famous Loch Ness waters in Scotland. However, the results are not as expected of many people about legendary creatures.

Norwegian maritime technology company Kongsberg used a robotic submarine, equipped with positioning technology, to record underwater objects with ultrasound, called Munin to explore Loch Ness lake bottoms. This is considered the deepest survey in this famous lake and it was done in 2 weeks time.

Ultrasonic positioning images show an object that possesses a shape similar to the long-standing image of Loch Ness monster (Nessie). However, the explorers determined, this is the rest of a 9-meter Nessie model that was sunk during the filming of "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" in 1970.

Monster models have been lost and settled down in the bottom of the lake for nearly 50 years.

Thus, the monster model was lost and settled down to the bottom of the lake for almost 50 years, until unmanned submarine Munin discovered it at a depth of about 180 meters above the water. The Nessie model is said to have sunk after the film crew cut off the inflatable bumps on its back, making it impossible for anyone to see it until now.

According to Craig Wallace, Kongsberg's Loch Ness Project submarine engineer, the unmanned submarine Munin scoured up to 230 meters. Although he found the monster model and the body of a wrecked ship at the bottom of the lake, Munin's survey results rejected the hypothesis of the existence of a deep trench, dubbed Nessie's hideout.

Earlier, navigator cruise ship Keith Stewart once claimed to have discovered a relatively large crack in Loch Ness using an advanced ultrasonic underwater locator. Stewart said he found the groove at the bottom of the lake, possibly as deep as 271 meters, only a few hundred meters from the center of the lake, which was the focus of previous hunting surveys.

However, Adrian Shine, head of the latest Loch Ness exploration project, insists that no crack furrows exist there. Mr. Shine said that Mr. Stewart is more likely to have read wrong sound positioning results due to echoes from the steep walls causing confusion.

In the past, Loch Ness was very difficult to survey because of its depth.

Mr. Shine also added that the Nessie model found at a location close to where Mr. Stewart once mentioned is the existence of a huge crack.

In the past, Loch Ness was very difficult to survey because of its depth; steep slopes, made of hard rock and clay; The lake lacks flatness as well as limited visibility due to muddy water. However, Kongsberg's robotics are designed to search for falling planes and boats sunk to greater depths, making the adventurers' group optimistic that they can be used to discover the secrets of Loch Ness. .

Malcolm Roughead, head of Scotland's National Tourism Administration, stressed: "No matter how advanced the device is and what it can reveal, people still have a sense of wonder. pumpkin and something unusual is hidden under Loch Ness Lake, we can never be sure there are no monsters, because it is impossible to survey the entire tank at the same time. It implies that there is some giant fish, but it may not be a monster ".
