USA Today – Amelia Earhart’s Unfinished 1937 Flight Path

Map tracing Amelia Earhart’s 1937 around-the-world flight and the final route from Lae toward Howland Island, where radio contact was lost.

A USA Today infographic maps Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan’s unfinished 1937 around-the-world flight. The upper map traces their route from Oakland, California, through the United States, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia, with stops labelled in locations including Miami, San Juan, Natal, Dakar, Khartoum, Karachi, Kolkata, Singapore and Darwin. A highlighted section marks Lae, Papua New Guinea, where Earhart departed on 2 July 1937 for Howland Island before contact was lost.

The lower map zooms into the central Pacific, showing the reported final navigational line, Howland Island, the Phoenix Islands and Nikumaroro, alongside text describing Earhart’s final radio contact and approximate location southwest of Hawaii.
