A team of U.S. marine archaeologists is traveling to a small island in the far‑west Pacific to examine evidence linked to Amelia Earhart’s 1937 disappearance.
The expedition, which left Los Angeles earlier this month, is expected to arrive on Tuesday at Niikomaroro, an uninhabited site in the Phoenix Islands of Kiribati, and is supported by the University of Bordeaux. The mission will assess whether a submerged body identified in satellite images is the wreck of a Lockheed Electra 10‑E, which Richard Petigro described as a potential "discovery of the age" and Steve Schultz said could solve one of aviation history’s most mysterious puzzles.
