The Meteorite Hunter
For 40 years, meteorite hunters have combed the Antarctic ice searching for meteorites—little chunks of space rock that fall to Earth. And now, geologist Nina Lanza has joined their ranks. In her rookie season meteorite hunting, Nina battles the wind, the cold, and the loneliness of the Antarctic deep field…and helps recover a mysterious rock. Is it a piece of the Red Planet?
