Nikumaroro Island is currently being investigated by the The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) in hopes of discovering and salvaging the lost wreckage of Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra.
Since 1988, TIGHAR has been testing the hypothesis that the missing 1937 flight of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan landed at Gardner Island.
