The meteoritic community has been tantalized by reports of extensive meteorite finds in Antarctica by members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The National Institute of Polar Research has published this introduction and review of the Yamato meteorites collected in Antarctica in 1969. This welcome review reveals that nine meteorite fragments of meteoritic material were found in the region of the Yamato Mountains. Four pieces greater than 60 g in weight have been identified as an enstatite chondrite, a hypersthene achondrite, a type III carbonaceous chondrite and a bronzite chondrite. In 1973 eleven additional suspected meteorites were recovered. Preliminary results show that three bronzite chondrites and one achondrite are among the new finds.
