Nikumaroro Island returns to the Amelia Earhart search
Original: nikumaroro island
Nikumaroro Island, a remote Pacific atoll in Kiribati, is back in the news as attention returns to Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance. The theory holds that Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan crash-landed near the island after failing to find Howland Island, and recent expeditions there have examined possible wreckage and human remains. Coverage of the enduring quest to solve aviation's most famous mystery is drawing fresh public interest.
Why now: Renewed media coverage of the Amelia Earhart disappearance has revived interest in Nikumaroro Island as a possible crash site.
