Using sonar, radar and satellite data, investigator still haven't been able to find missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. What they have found are "seamounts and volcanoes" previously not known to exist. The investigators will continue the search on September 22, and they'll be inspecting 23,000 square miles of ocean to the west of Australia. They plan to use oil sensors to try and detect leaking fuel coming from the plane.
The areas they're exploring apparently haven't been inspected by scientists very much, and Dr. Stuart Minchin of Geoscience Australia believes the new-found understanding of the ocean in that region could help predict tsunamis. "There will be many scientists around the world interested in this information because it is of a very unknown part of the ocean, and it is going to be a unique data set for this part of the world," Minchin told Fox News. They plan to release the data as soon as they're done with their search. As for now, they're just using the data to continue a search that could take a very long time, considering there are more than 1000 flight paths the plane could have taken.
