南极洲失落的陨石项目是第一个由英国领导的南极陨石恢复探险。该项目已成功确认了Hutichison冰原和Outer Recovery冰原地区的两个新的高密度陨石搁浅区，并调查了三个以前未被访问的南极冰原岛峰（Turner Nunatak，Pillinger Nunatak，Halliday Nunatak）的地质。该项目通过skidoo侦察和系统搜索在冰面上进行陨石搜索，并开发了一种新颖的脉冲感应金属探测系统，以搜索被困在冰层上部一米内的富铁陨石。在冰面搜寻活动中总共回收了121块陨石，这些陨石现收藏在联合王国伦敦自然历史博物馆，可供科学分析。
The Lost Meteorites of Antarctica project was the first UK‐led Antarctic meteorite recovery expedition. The project has successfully confirmed two new high‐density meteorite stranding zones in the Hutichison Icefield and Outer Recovery Icefields areas and investigated the geology of three previously unvisited Antarctic nunataks (Turner Nunatak, Pillinger Nunatak, Halliday Nunatak). The project undertook meteorite searching on the ice surface via skidoo reconnaissance and systematic searching and developed a novel pulse induction metal detection system to search for englacial iron‐rich meteorites trapped within the upper one meter of ice. In total, 121 meteorites have been recovered from the ice surface searching activities, which are now curated in the United Kingdom at the Natural History Museum London and are available for scientific analysis.
