COSMIC MESSAGE
Antarctica is an excellent place to find meteorites. While meteors fall everywhere, they are often buried or hard to distinguish from terrestrial rocks. In East Antarctica, vast sheets of pure blue ice make dark rocks stand out clearly. These dark rocks have a high probability of being meteorites, fragments of other worlds that have fallen to Earth.
