That said, the Australian Transport Safety Board has been providing regular updates on the search and have now released a visualization of what the seafloor looks like.
The picture is actually a synthetic aperture sonar acoustic image of the seafloor, and it gives viewers a hint at how difficult the search is because of the odd shapes and slightly varying gradation levels.
All told, the team has searched more than 9,000 square kilometers of the seafloor in the Indian Ocean and are continuing along an estimated route that the plane may have taken.
