Antarctica vs. the Arctic

["J. McDougall" <mcdo9780@mach1.wlu.ca>]

	Although this may seem mundane to group members here, and I may 
answer my own question....
	I have been wondering lately why so many meteorites are found in 
the Antarctic but relatively few in the Artic. Is it because of the heavy 
glaciation in the northern hemisphere during the last 50,000 yrs 
having removed many of the in situ meteorites. Whereas the lack of 
glaciation in the southern hemispere, having not removed many of the in 
situ meteorites, makes them more numerous?
	Or is there another reason that I am not thinking of?

Thanks
JM
