Exploring the Moon and Mars in Antarctica
The search for chunks of solar system debris is underway in the extreme conditions of the Antarctic as part of the "Antarctic Search for Meteorites" program, supported by NASA, the National Science Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. Go behind the scenes and see the search in progress.
Exclusive footage, taped in extreme conditions far from the main Antarctic research stations, shows how members of the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) live and work: what they eat, what they wear, how they stay warm and how they search for and find chunks of the moon, Mars and the asteroid belt. Shot by ANSMET team members Don Pettit and Cliff Leight, with comments from principal investigator Ralph Harvey.
