This sought after iron meteorites formed at the core of the small planets are destroyed by the celestial influences-and can provide guidance to the creation of the planet.
The team led by the UK believes the lack of iron meteorites can be put as a thin layer is damaged, only a few feet under the ice landscape.
Antarctica is known to be generous in meteorites and it's easy to spot non-metallic meteorite dark under a clear landscape, ice.
"Up to December 2015, some meteorite recovered from the Antarctic surface 34,927, representing 66.3% of the world total number of samples collected," reads the study published in the journal Nature.
"However, while the waterfalls of the meteorite should be distributed almost evenly across the face of the Earth, a collection of meteorites the data shows that the proportion of iron-based meteorite recovered from the Antarctic, 0.7%, significantly lower than the share of recovered after seeing the fall of the entire world, 5.5%-a Statistical difference
over a 99.9% confidence level."
"This comparison indicates that one or more of the physical mechanisms resulted in a shortage of iron-based meteorite fell in the Antarctic."
The team, led by the University of Manchester, hypothesizes that the meteorite was lost as a result of the Sun's rays penetrate clear ice and iron-rich stone warming more than non-metals.
Like warming melts ice in the vicinity of a meteorite, causing it to sink and complete all annual ice upwelling-this permanent trap meteorites just beneath the surface.
However, the team has just been awarded a scholarship grant from the Leverhulme Trust, which will make it possible for them to develop the technology required to find the meteorite is hidden.
Technology will probably be based on metal detection techniques, where the University of Manchester has a special power research (URURf.eks. in optimizing Airport security scanning, landmine removal, recycling, and non-destructive testing).
Researchers have been marked as 2020 when the expedition will take place and 2019 for initial visits to Antarctica.
And a smaller test mission will take place on the Arctic island of Svalbard as early as 2018.
"We now have the opportunity to start a scientific adventure is really exciting," said Dr. Geoffrey Evatt, a mathematician at the University.
"If we succeed, our expedition will help researchers to decipher the origin of the solar system and cement the United Kingdom as a leader in meteoritics and planetary science."
The team plans to work in three places on the European continent and hundreds of miles from the nearest research station.
"The whole idea of the missing layer of meteorites in Antarctica came from colossal interdisciplinary workshops, discussions between a group of applied mathematicians and glaciologists, back in 2012.0," said Dr. Evatt.
' Then had changed his original ideas for real scientific reasoning, we now have the opportunity to put our hypothesis the most extreme math test! '
