Deep Sea Vision believes they may have come across Amelia Earhart’s wrecked plane in the Pacific Ocean.

(FOX NEWS) – A South Carolina-based ocean exploration
company says it may have found the airplane that Amelia
Earhart flew on her
ill-fated 1937 expedition.

Deep Sea Vision CEO Tony Romeo, a former Air Force
intelligence officer, believes that the airplane-shaped
object that his company captured in a sonar image is
Earhart’s Lockheed 10-E Electra.

Earhart was trying to become the first woman to successfully
complete a circumnavigational flight of the globe when she
disappeared on July 2, 1937. She was last seen in Papua New
Guinea and disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific
Ocean.

EXPLORER REACHED SOUTH POLE IN 1912

The Snow Tomb of Captain Robert Falcon Scott – Antarctica - Atlas Obscura

After a two-month ordeal, the expedition of British explorer
Robert Falcon Scott arrived at the South Pole only to find
that
Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, had preceded
them by just over a month. Disappointed, the exhausted
explorers prepared for a long and difficult journey back to
their base camp.

Weather on the return journey was exceptionally bad, two
members perished and Scott and the other two survivors
were trapped in their tent by a storm only 11 miles from
their base camp. Scott wrote a final entry in his diary in
late March. A search party discovered their frozen bodies
eight months later. In his final journal entry, Scott wrote,
"We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker,
of course, and the end cannot be far. It seems a pity, but
I do not think I can write more…For God’s sake look after
our people."
