Hello List, Thanks to everybody that entered or responded. I think many of the responses gave us a few places to think about. Of the places brought up, the oneI would like to search the most would be Mars. Six months there, six months back, no problem. Of the places I could go, a two week

Hello list,
After the fires went out, the dust cleared, and the toxic gas levels of
the atmosphere were reduced, I would like to have gone to stand on the
rim of Chicxulub on the Yucatan 65 million years ago. The asteroid was
most likely vaporized as it penetrated the earth's crust, but the scar
How 'bout Mars at the site of the impact that gave us some of our Martian
meteorites. There may be pieces of the impactor left. It would be neat to
have a piece of a meteorite from Mars that gave us Mars meteorites!

Anywhere in the world for me would be Greenland. A vast area of frozen tundra for searching, nobody around to compete with, and as far as I know not an issue for collecting them. Granted it's cold, but the adrenaline would keep me motivated!
Anybody else want to go?

If I could search anywhere in the world it would have to be the Canadian
territory Nunavut. I would search here because it has probably never been
searched before, the natives have probably found meteorites before and made
weapons out of them, and they could probaly show you any rock that had

Practical: I would head to the sand dunes of Egypt for meteorites and
libyan desert glass as well. And hopefully next march that is where I will
be.

I would like to go to Antarctica, I have always wanted to go there even
before I started collecting meteorites. I even volunteered to go there for
the winter when I was in the navy. To go there and collect meteorites would
be my trip of a life time. But I would have to bring a Telescope too.

Since the contest specifies meteorite hunting anywhere in the
world, that precludes my first choice: the Kuiper belt. Who
knows what we could find there ! In keeping with the limitations
set by Mark, I would go on an extended tour of the Canadian
Prairies. There are a lot of meteorites still

Hello all,
I was catching up on the list postings, and I think what would
absolutely be the greatest meteorite hunt would be a return to
Wabar. Although the site is now mostly covered by sand, I can
imagine the excitement of finding some new material being uncovered
as the winds of winter blow.
