The Asuka-90 meteorites collection from Antarctica: Searching, initial processing and preliminary identification
Over 2400 meteorites have been collected by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions (JARE) on the bare icefield around the Sor Rondane Mountains in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica, since 1986. The Asuka wintering party of JARE-30 (1989-91) carried out a meteorite search during a geological surv...
