The search for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 entered a new phase as special vessels arrived in the southern Indian Ocean to probe canyons and peaks 6,000 meters under the surface of the ocean. The new search began after months of technical analysis and mapping of the sea floor in a huge area where the plane carrying 239 people is believed to have gone down. The 60,000-square-kilometre search area is 1,800km south west of Perth, a thin but long line indicated by the last contact with the plane that disappeared on 08 March 2014. The initial underwater search areas have been allocated to different search vessels. The first area is currently being searched by GO Phoenix, and the second has been assigned to the Fugro vessels.
