If there really is a lake monster in Alaska's largest lake, a group of researchers using cutting edge technology this summer might have the best chance yet of finding it.
People around Iliamna Lake have reported seeing the creature - only in quick glimpses - since the late 1940s. But there's never been proof of what exactly it is. Now, a team has plans to sift through DNA in the lake and drop a camera down to its deepest spots, a thousand feet down, in an attempt to solve the decades-old mystery.
The group of researchers includes camera specialist Charlotte Levy
Levy told Alaska Public Media's Casey that people who've reported seeing the monster tend to have a similar story.
