A new expedition is underway to locate Amelia Earhart’s lost Lockheed Electra 10E over the Pacific, near Nikumaroro Island, where evidence suggests the plane or remnants may be buried in ocean sediment. This effort, conducted by the Archaeological Legacy Institute and Purdue University, aims to recover aircraft sections, including fuselage and wings, using dredging techniques, with future plans to fully excavate and bring remains to the United States. Despite multiple prior searches, including government and scientific expeditions, no definitive evidence of the plane has been found, though historical clues and recent imagery support the theory that Earhart and her navigator survived as castaways on the island.
