Following the Teams Around Nikumaroro

Niku IIII departed from Los Angeles on August 24, 2001,and returned to there September 25. To help our members understand and participate in, however vicariously, the field work this year, we’ve taken the satellite image and overlaid a grid of sectors each of which is 140 meters (450 feet) square. Alphanumeric coordinates will allow you to identify any particular sector. For instance, if we were searching at the Loran site, we could identify the corner of the lagoon as section B4, and you'd be able to find it and know what we meant. All reports on the expedition and artifact analysis will be keyed to this map. These beautiful, full-color, 18 x 24″ posters are suitable for framing or refrigerators, and are available immediately, shipped in a tube via Priority Mail, for US$25.00.

The grid maps are available only to TIGHAR members. Membership in TIGHAR is open to anyone who wishes to join.

If you think this is a scheme to reward TIGHAR members for their support while also encouraging new membership, you’re absolutely correct – it’s almost as good as a secret decoder ring. If you’re a TIGHAR member and we already have your credit card number, just email us and say you want a map. Otherwise you can fax your order and credit card info to (302) 994-7945 or phone us at (302) 994-4410.
