Purdue-led expedition reaches Nikumaroro to investigate possible Amelia Earhart aircraft wreckage

After a five-day boat journey, a research team has arrived at the remote South Pacific island of Nikumaroro to investigate an object in a lagoon that may be the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra. Earhart disappeared in 1937 while attempting to fly around the world; the expedition is entering a critical phase of the long-running search.
