National Geographic and deep-sea explorer Dr. Robert Ballard has announced an expedition to solve the mystery of famed aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. The project, which will result in a two-hour special to air on Nat Geo this fall, was announced today during TCA.
In a scientific expedition jointly funded by National Geographic Partners and National Geographic Society, Ballard, best known for his 1985 discovery of the Titanic shipwreck, is setting out in August to solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance and end decades of speculation about what actually happened to her. National Geographic Society’s archeologist-in-residence, Fredrik Hiebert, joins Ballard and will lead a team to search for signs of Earhart on land following clues that may lead to the location of her bones.
The ocean search will be conducted aboard Ev Nautilus, owned by the Ocean Exploration Trust under the direction of Chief Operating Officer and Expedition Leader Allison Fundis.
