A hidden reserve of iron-rich meteorites which could hold secrets to the formation of the solar system may be hidden beneath the surface of the Antarctic ice sheet, according to a study by a team from The University of Manchester. Their paper, published in Nature Communications this week, suggests that these meteorites could be just 10-50cm from the surface, making their retrieval tantalisingly possible. http://phys.org/news/2016-02-lost-meteorites-antarctica.html Paper: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2016/160216/ncomms10679/full/ncomms10679.html
