Hard to believe I'm the only one interested in an answer to this curious
statement by a scientist who collects meteorites in Antarctica. But I
did a little digging and got the answer. It is perfectly legal for
private parties to collect meteorites in Antarctica.
Regards,
Charlie

Ron and list,

Towards the end of this article, one of the scientists expresses concern
that private expeditions will beat the scientific expeditions back to
the LaPaz ice field next year. He is quoted as saying: "The expeditions
who use our information to help a tourist pick up a meteorite and lock
it away in a private collection, it's a travesty to me.' How long has
this been going on? Is it gong on? I thought the Antarctic was off
limits to private hunters?
Regards,
Charlie
