The lost meteorites of Antarctica

This project aims to discover a lost hoard of meteorites, which reside, the team has hypothesised, just a few centimetres below the surface of Antarctica’s remote blue-ice regions. “Antarctica is the best place on earth for collecting meteorites,” Geoffrey Evatt, senior lecturer in applied mathematics at the University of Manchester, told 成人VR视频. “However, iron meteorites account for around 0.5% of the collected specimens on the Antarctic continent, as compared to the proportion of 5.5% collected elsewhere on earth. As such, a significant number of iron meteorites appear to be ‘missing’ from the Antarctic record.” Dr Evatt and his team hope to find new regions of Antarctica that hold meteorites on their surface, and then, using wide metal detectors, search for the sub-surface layer of iron meteorites. “We shall then carefully extract them and bring them back to the UK for examination,” he said. “Each meteorite contains valuable information [about] the formation of the solar system. In particular, iron meteorites help us to understand the formation of planets (because iron meteorites used to form the core of planetissimals – small planets that were later destroyed). Our retrieved samples will help greatly in that regard.”
