Seventy-five years ago, American expeditionary explorer Amelia Earhart was missing somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during an attempt to fly around the globe. However, the search to try to find something that would lead to the aviator's whereabouts has never finally stopped. And the effort may have been worth it.

Over the past month, a team has restarted the search process for the wreckage of Amelia's aircraft, which eventually found nothing apparent. However, by taking a fresh look at the images of the underwater floor that were captured, the expeditioners believe they may have found some concrete evidence about Mrs. Amelia Earhart's whereabouts.

Researchers have carefully examined the surroundings of Nikumaroro Island in the Kiribati Archipelago (right in the middle of the Pacific). This region has long been speculated by many experts on the subject as the most likely place where the aviator may have been injured. Experts have compared high-definition images of the region with photos of Amelia's plane and believe that various components of the aircraft may be there.

Now, according to the European portal JN, researchers will collect and analyze the debris so that they can confirm that the traces are authentic. To date, less than 30% of the information collected on site has been analyzed due to the technical complications that the expeditions faced.

Amelia was a pioneer in US aviation, and was a brave defender of women's rights and dignity. The brave girl was also the first woman to fly over the Atlantic Ocean, until in 1937 she decided to circle the world following the Equator Line. If all goes well, we'll soon find out exactly where it fell.
