Summary

An expedition searching for Amelia Earhart's plane at a remote Pacific island has resumed after stormy weather kept it on hold for three days, the BBC reports. CBS News earlier reported that archaeologists were searching off a remote island in Kiribati for traces of Earhart's plane. This follows the release of nearly 50 photos from a 1938 aerial survey of Nikumaroro, where Earhart is believed to have crash-landed; the images may offer clues in the search.
