We just learned about the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Station.
Another Antarctic station is ANSMET Station, which stands for Antarctic Search for Meteorites.
This is a station in the Transantarctic Mountains where 4 to 10 people live and collect meteorites.
They go out on snowmobiles and search in the snow for meteorites that are buried in the mountains.
ANSMET was built in the year 1976, and since then they have collected over 20,000 meteorites!
A few meteorites were from the moon, and a few were even from Mars!
