A Belgian-Dutch team of scientists has created the first-ever “treasure map” that shows where in Antarctica meteorites are likely to be found. Meteorites are chunks of stone-like material that can be found on the surface of the Earth after falling from space.

A heat wave in Antarctica earlier this month was so extreme that it may be the largest temperature increase above normal ever recorded, according to Robert Rohde, lead scientist at the non-profit Berkeley Earth, who analysed global records.

Scientists are now trying to determine why the Arctic region does not show similar patterns.

Tonight’s federal budget will include more than A$800 million over ten years to provide a “clear marker” of Australia’s “scientific leadership” in Antarctica.
