Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Antarctic has become a rich source of new meteorites in recent decades due to the large expanse of ice that makes it easier to spot meteorites that have fallen from space. Additionally, the cold and dry climate helps to preserve the meteorites, making them valuable for scientific study. The famous Mars meteorite, ALH84001, was discovered in the Allan Hills region of Antarctica in 1984.
