Do meteorites ever fall on the North Pole or South Pole?
Yes. Meteorites fall everywhere, including at the poles. Antarctica is the best place on Earth to find them.
Meteorites fall all over the world, at roughly the same rate everywhere. So yes, they land near the North Pole and the South Pole too.
The North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, covered by floating sea ice. Any meteorite landing there would eventually sink to the bottom of the sea when the ice melted, so they are never found.
Antarctica, around the South Pole, is very different. It is a huge continent covered by a thick ice sheet. Meteorites that land on it are buried in snow and slowly carried along as the ice flows towards the coast. In some places, the ice is pushed up against mountains and the wind blows the top layer away, bringing meteorites back to the surface. These areas of shiny blue ice can be covered with meteorites, dark stones easy to spot on the bright surface.
Scientists from many countries go on expeditions to Antarctica to collect meteorites. They live in tents in freezing temperatures and travel on snowmobiles. Over 45,000 meteorites have been found there, more than anywhere else on Earth, including meteorites from the Moon and Mars. Greenland, near the North Pole, has meteorites too, including the giant Cape York irons.
