Theory Briefing
- A 16-person research team is travelling to Nikumaroro in October, the remote Pacific island at the centre of the castaway theory.
- The popular theory holds that Earhart and her navigator survived a crash landing and died as castaways on the island rather than at sea.
- Researchers say 'something is there,' suggesting prior evidence has already pointed toward the island without delivering a definitive answer.
- The expedition frames a direct test of one of aviation history's longest-running unsolved disappearances, nearly 90 years after Earhart vanished.
