Titanic's bow stands in stark relief against the North Atlantic seafloor in a sonar image made by back-and-forth surveys of the site by Expedition Titanic in late August.

"The technology we have available to us on this mission is producing amazing results," expedition co-leader David Gallo said in a press statement.

Among those results is a wider-scale sonar map of the wreck site—the first to show both the bow and stern, which lie a third of a mile (half a kilometer) apart (Titanic wreck-site map).

"We're going to use these kinds of tools to give us a bird's-eye view to plan future missions," Gallo, of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, told MSNBC.
