Team Arrives at Remote Island in Search of Amelia Earhart’s Plane

After a five-day boat ride, the Purdue University research team has arrived at the remote island of Nikamuroro in the South Pacific to search for Amelia Earhart’s missing plane.

Once on the island, the team will cut their way through thick vegetation to get to a lagoon where it is believed the plane has been resting for nearly 90 years.
