Antarctica’s Strange Secret Why Meteors Keep Landing Here

Antarctica has a strange secret: it’s one of the best places on Earth to find meteorites! This icy continent may seem like an odd spot, but there’s a reason so many space rocks are discovered there. When meteors land on the white ice, they’re way easier to spot than in rocky or forested areas. Plus, the ice sheets flow slowly and push buried meteorites toward the surface, making them even easier to find. The freezing temperatures also help preserve these space rocks, keeping them in great condition for scientists to study. So, despite Antarctica’s harsh conditions, it’s a goldmine for meteorite hunters looking to learn about our solar system!
