COSMIC MESSAGE
Antarctica is one of the best places on Earth to find meteorites. While meteors fall everywhere, they are often lost in oceans or buried by shifting terrain. On the vast blue ice sheets of East Antarctica, dark rocks stand out clearly. These rocks have a high probability of being meteorites, pieces of other worlds.
