In January, an ocean exploration company published a photo of what it said could be the wreckage of the plane flown by pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart when she disappeared in 1937 while attempting to fly around the world.

Eleven months later, the company has identified the plane-like object as a rock formation - not the crashed plane of one of the most important figures in aviation history.

Did you know?

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, accomplishing this incredible feat on May 20–21, 1932. The flight took her nearly 15 hours, and she faced mechanical problems and severe weather conditions. She landed in a pasture in Northern Ireland, where a farmer asked, "Have you flown far?" She modestly replied, "From America." This achievement made her an international celebrity and a symbol of courage and determination.
