Underwater Treasures
Pavle Dugonjić of the Department for Underwater Archaeology at the Croatian Conservation Institute takes images of the ancient harbor of Polače in Mljet, Croatia. The photo is from our April 2026 cover story about archaeologists exploring the remains of a ship that vanished more than a thousand years ago off the coast of modern-day Croatia. These underwater images will allow researchers to create a 3D rendering of the site and study the wreckage remotely. Many golden artifacts have been discovered at the site, giving historians new insight into the so-called Dark Ages.
