(Video) Got Lost In ‘Nikomaroro Island’, The Story of Amelia Earhart

Nikumaroro Island is a part of the Phoenix Islands, Kiribati, in the western Pacific Ocean. It is a remote, elongated, triangular coral atoll with profuse vegetation and a large central marine lagoon. Nikumaroro is about 7.5 km long by 2.5 km wide. The rim has two narrow entrances, both of which are blocked by a wide reef, which is dry at low tide.

This particular island went viral years ago because of a mysterious incident that happened. On the 2nd of July 1937, Amelia Earhart and also navigator named Fred Noonan took off from Lae, New Guinea in a Lockheed Electra 10E on one of the last legs of their around-the-world flight. Despite many attempts done, no one has been able to find them.

During the attempts to find Amelia Earhart, they brought bone-sniffing dogs to search for traces of her arrival on this remote, uninhabited outpost after a voyage north from Fiji. The dog’s border collies wearing life vests disembarked in a rough channel carved through the reef and made their careful way across slick coral to the sandy beach to get the first scent of the island. They alerted on the hidden gravesites, sitting or lying down where they sniffed human remains.

One theory holds that Amelia Earhart made an emergency landing on the island, which teems with coconut crabs. As the largest land invertebrate on the planet, coconut crabs can measure up to three feet across and clock in at over nine pounds. In short, they are too big. Coconut crabs play a key role in what happened to Amelia Earhart after she and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared on the 2nd of July 1937, on the third-to-last leg of their world flight.
