It was announced a couple of days ago that they may e one step closer in figuring out what happened to Amelia Earhart on that fateful day in 1937. She was supposed to refuel on the barely visible and inhabitable, Howard Island on her journey to fly around the world. However, she never arrived and no one every heard from her again. What may have aided in helping figure out the truth? Dr.C.H. Berry's Freckle Cream. Yup, that's right...face cream. Anyone who makes fun of us ladies for packing nearly everything including face cream while traveling should be wise not to do that again! A jar that had been broken into five pieces was discovered on Nikumaroro Island. This island has been explored for many years as the possible final location of Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan. the discovery of various animal bones and even some possible human remains have been found. In addition to cosmetics, men and women's clothing and a various amount of other things that leads researchers to believe that Earhart and Noonan successfully landed the plane after they missed Howard Island and were running low on fuel. What happened after that is too sad to think about: dying on a deserted island with only the things that could be salvaged from the plan before it sank into the Pacific. It has not been 100% confirmed that it was in fact a Dr. C.H. Berry's Freckle Cream jar since the jars they came in during that time were white and the one that was discovered on the island was clear, though they had the same shape. Perhaps it would be safe to presume the elements of 70+ years had faded the color. Either way, a research team will be heading to Nikumaroro Island next month to do several dives as well as several submarine dives to see if they can locate Earhart's plane.
