Sonar Image Sparks Renewed Interest in Amelia Earhart's Disappearance

Deep Sea Vision's discovery could potentially be Earhart's missing plane, but experts remain cautious as further investigation is needed.

Deep Sea Vision, a South Carolina-based sea exploration company, has captured a sonar image that appears to show Amelia Earhart's missing plane, reigniting interest in the aviation mystery of her disappearance in 1937.
The image was captured at a depth of 16,400 feet, about 100 miles from Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean, an area considered likely for Earhart's plane to have crashed.
Experts suggest that if the plane is indeed Earhart's Lockheed 10-E Electra, it could potentially be well-preserved due to the cold temperatures and low oxygen levels at that depth.
Despite the excitement, some experts remain skeptical, noting that the sonar image could be distorted or could represent a geological feature on the ocean floor rather than an aircraft.
The next step for Deep Sea Vision is to take a camera underwater to better examine the unidentified object. If confirmed to be Earhart's plane, the goal would be to raise the aircraft.
