The first meteorite discovered in Antarctica was found quite by accident in 1912 by the explorer, D. Mawson. A mechanism by which meteorites are concentrated by the motion of glaciers running into mountains covered by 2000 m ice sheets was discovered by Yoshida from Japan in 1971. Systematic searches for meteorites have been carried out since then by US and Japanese teams. I will share my experience searching for meteorites on the blue ice fields of the Miller Range in 2007.
