Gardner Island is a beautiful coral reef atoll in the South Pacific. There have been various attempts to settle it over the years but with little success because of too little fresh water on the island. "Bone Fragments and women's personal belongings" were recently found there by individuals looking for Amelia Earhart. DNA testing will take place soon.
The theory is that she and her navigator Fred Noonan crashed landed on Gardner Island during their attempted flight around the world in 1937. This has been one of the most fascinating mysteries of the past 100 years.
The native name is Nikumaroro and the island belongs to the independent country of Kiribati....one of the poorest countries on Earth.
