Why do people look for meteorites out in the desert or on dried lake = beds? (Rhetorical question) More so in Antartica. There are lots of terrestial rocks in Antartica in the mountains and = near the shores. Just look at those penguin rookeries. However you don't = find ice sheets in the Sahara. The bedrock can be as much as two miles = beneath the surface of these. These glaciers also flow as a block few = inches a year taking these fallen rocks with them.This natural conveyor = belt concentrates ancient falls near the foothills of mountain ranges = where sublimation and wind re-exposes these ancient falls. I've have friend who have gone to Antartica but you can only take back = pictures. Try Greenland. Howard=20 meteoriteshow <meteoriteshow_at_free.fr> wrote: Is it?

How meteorites where first found in Antartica: Did you mention that lots of antartic is covered with ice two = miles deep so that if your driving around in your snow mobile and hear a = "thump..thump" cause you hit a rock, you've found a meteorite fallen = from the sky.
