Meteorite discovered in Antarctica. Field image of a large meteorite found during the 2014-15 US Antarctic Search for Meteorites program (ANSMET) season. The field numbers in the image are used for tracking and inventory purposes. The meteorites are analysed and their mass and composition recorded. ANSMET has collected thousands of meteorites since it began in the 1970s, with the majority of them being of a stony (non-metallic) type known as chondrites. The specimens discovered in the 2014-15 season were all from the blue ice fields along the Transantarctic Mountains.
