A 17‑member expedition will arrive at Nikumaroro Island on Tuesday to investigate a submerged object that may be Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10‑E.
The team departed Tarawa, Kiribati, last week aboard a research vessel and plans to spend five days examining the site, beginning with drone surveys of the island followed by sonar and magnetometer scans of the submerged Taraia Object, which was identified in satellite imagery in 2020 and appears in aerial photographs from 1938.
