The 32nd Antarctic expedition ending in sight. The reporter learns, Grove mountains in Antarctica, the Antarctic expedition were collected in the Grove mountains meteorites 630, total weight of 1722 g, one of the largest piece of 438 g. So far, China has been in the ownership of 12665 Antarctic meteorites, in quantitative terms, continues to be the world′s third-largest possessors of Antarctic meteorites.

Meteorites are rocks from the solar samples, save the Nebula condensed, the planets accumulated, Mars, Earth-like planets, such as melting and differentiation processes, such as information, awareness about the origin of the solar system and the Earth are of great value. Antarctic meteorite-rich region, meteorite collecting is also important projects of the national Antarctic expedition.

According to the introduction, through the initial classification, 630 in the meteorite collection may include olive fai no Chondrites, basaltic without Chondrites, pallasite, type 3 ordinary Chondrites and special types of meteorites such as carbonaceous Chondrites is about 10 blocks. Meanwhile, the expedition first rotor UAV aerial way, observations of ice flow direction, to explore and look for gravel area, provide a reference for meteorites to find work.

中国第32次南极科考收官在即。记者获悉，本次南极科考格罗夫山队在南极格罗夫山地区共收集到陨石630块，总重量为1722克，其中最大一块438克。至此，中国南极陨石拥有量已达12665块，从数量上看，继续稳居世界第三大南极陨石拥有国。

陨石是来自于太阳系的岩石样品，保存了星云凝聚、行星堆积、火星等类地行星熔融分异等过程的信息，对了解太阳系的起源和认识地球等具有重要价值。南极存在陨石富集区，因此陨石收集也是各国南极考察的重要项目。

据介绍，通过现场初步分类，确定收集到的630块陨石中可能包括橄辉无球粒陨石、玄武岩质无球粒陨石、橄榄陨铁、3型普通球粒陨石和碳质球粒陨石等特殊类型陨石约10块。同时，此次科考还首次通过多旋翼无人机航拍方式，观测冰流方向、探路和寻找碎石带分布区，为陨石寻找工作提供参考。
