Of all the meteorites that we have found, two-thirds of them have been recovered in Antarctica. As strange as that seems, they are pretty much isolated to one small area of Antarctica. When you first hear that, you might think that it has something to do with earth's rotation, or maybe a magnetic field that grabs these falling objects and steers them towards this area around the South Pole. But you'd be wrong. The operative phrase in the first sentence is "that we have found."
