SYDNEY (AP) — The hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has resumed in a desolate stretch of the Indian Ocean, more than six months after the jet disappeared.

The GO Phoenix is one of three ships that will spend up to a year hunting for the wreckage. It arrived in the search area about 1,100 miles west of Australia on Monday. The other two ships will join the hunt later this month.

Flight 370 vanished March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The search has been on hold for four months so crews could map the seabed in the search zone. Investigators analyzed transmissions between the plane and a satellite to narrow down the search area to a 23,000-square mile patch of ocean.
