由普渡大学领导的考察队前往太平洋偏远的尼库马罗托环礁调查，试图解开先驱飞行员阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特失踪之谜，但最终空手而归。1该考察队基于2020年卫星图像中发现的可疑物体进行了为期四天的深入研究，包括使用金属探测设备，但确认这一物体仅为"可能是沿着半岛沙洲沉积的大型树木集合"，而非飞机残骸。1
埃尔哈特和领航员弗雷德·诺南在1937年的环球飞行中失踪。1卫星图像曾在该环礁浅滩附近发现了白色细长的可疑物体，引发了研究人员的关注。1尼库马罗托环礁位于澳大利亚和夏威夷之间。1此前，考察队在该环礁曾发现过1930年代的女性鞋子和化妆品罐玻璃等证据。1这次调查因"强盗蟹"等原因迫使考察队在海上露营。1
A research expedition led by Purdue University traveled to Nikumaroro, a remote atoll in the Pacific Ocean between Australia and Hawaii, to investigate a potential breakthrough in the decades-old disappearance of pioneering pilot Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, who went missing during a round-the-world flight in 1937.1 The team was drawn to the location by a suspicious white elongated object visible in satellite imagery from 2020 captured near a shallow reef.1
After conducting four days of investigation on the atoll, including metal detection work, researchers determined that the object was not aircraft wreckage but rather a natural accumulation of large logs and vegetation deposited along a sandy peninsula.1 Purdue University confirmed in a statement that the discovery consisted of "what is likely a large collection of trees that have accumulated along the peninsula sandbar."1 The expedition yielded no breakthrough in solving Earhart's fate, despite earlier findings on the atoll that included women's shoes and a glass cosmetics jar from the 1930s era.1 The research team faced additional hardships during their work, including being forced to camp at sea due to hazards such as robber crabs.1
