ANTARCTIC METEORITE LOCATION AND MAPPING PROJECT (AMLAMP)
EXPLANATORY TEXT

The Wisconsin Range - Scott Glacier region of meteorite sites extends across nearly 300 kilometers of the east-central Transantarctic Mountains (INTRO-Figure 1 - 108 KB JPEG). The Wisconsin Range and the Reedy Glacier are at the eastern end and the Amundsen Glacier in the Queen Maude Range at the western extent. The Reedy Glacier and Scott Glacier are two of the biggest outlet glaciers in the region.

Several meteorite sites have been identified from reconnaissance in the region. However, no major meteorite concentrations have been identified to date in this region and few highly detailed searches have been undertaken at these sites. Meteorites were recovered from several icefields around nunataks along the eastern margin of the Reedy Glacier in the Wisconsin Range. At Graves Nunataks numerous meteorites were discovered. At the head of the Scott Glacier, searches at Mt. Howe, the southernmost bedrock exposure on the continent, resulted in a few specimens. Small numbers of meteorites have been found on a large area of bare ice in the upper reaches of the Scott Glacier, at Gardner Ridge, and the Klein Glacier. Further west at Mt. Prestrud and Mt. Wisting numerous specimens were found there.
