Biggest Nessie hunt in decades gets underway

The biggest search for the Loch Ness Monster in five decades took place in the Scottish Highlands as researchers and monster hunters from around the world meet to track down the elusive Nessie.

The expedition will deploy drones with thermal scanners, boats with infrared cameras and an underwater hydrophone to try to unravel a mystery that has captivated the world for generations.

The searchers believe the thermal scanners could prove crucial in identifying any strange anomalies in the murky depths. The hydrophone will allow the searchers to listen for unusual Nessie-like underwater calls.
