Search teams took advantage of better weather on Monday (January 5) as they resumed the search for wreckage and victims from the AirAsia plane that crashed into the Java Sea more than a week ago.
The search area was widened to account for currents that could have shifted debris from flight QZ8501..
The main search effort has been focused on an area about 90 natical miles off the coast of the island of Borneo.
Five large objects believed to be parts of the Airbus A320 have been spotted in the shallow waters.
More bodies have been recovered and brought back to Pangkalan Bun, the Indonesian town where the search teams are based.
The plane carrying 162 passengers crashed into the sea on December 28, about 40 minutes after taking off from Indonesia's second-largest city Surabaya en route for Singapore.
