Antarctica: A Deep-Freeze Storehouse for Meteorites
Meteorites that fall on the Antarctic ice cap are preserved for long periods of time under very clean conditions as they are carried toward the continental margin. If the host ice encounters a barrier it cannot flow over or around, it tends to dissipate by ablation, leaving an accumulation of meteor...
