Scientific paper

The history and scientific organization of U.S. and Japanese meteorite campaigns in Antarctica are reviewed; the major results are summarized; and conclusions drawn from meteorite-composition studies are discussed. Consideration is given to lunar samples, putative Martian samples, eucrites, and differences between antarctic meteorites and their nonantarctic analogs. The importance of antarctic meteorites in providing new information on the origin of solar-system objects or regions, evidence for temporal variations in the composition of the meteoroid complex, reference values for determining the age of ice layers, and evidence of past climate changes is indicated. Graphs, photographs, maps, and tables are provided.
