| Summary: | The 35th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition found 9 ordinary chondrites and 7 fragments around Camp 1 (latitude 71°32′49″S, longitude 35°24′07″E) located 5km westward from Massif C in the Yamato Mountains. In this area meteorites have not been collected previously. Meteorite surveys were also carried out along the route of the Camp migrations and around the Camp 3,although no meteorites were found. The chondrites examined microscopically may be classified into either H4 or H6 categories. The biggest chondrite (Yamato-9403) which is classified as H6 was examined magnetically. |
