Meteorites (a rock in space is a meteor, a rock screaming through the atmosphere is a meteoroid, and a rock that falls to Earth from space is a meteorite) occur all over the globe. However, there are two interesting places to find meteorites.
1. Antarctica. With the ice and snow near the South Pole being a mile thick, any rock sitting on the surface is probably a meteorite.
2. The Outback of Australia. There isn't much there, including people. A lot of meteor hunters have good luck finding meteorites in the Outback, because the meteorites don't look like local rocks.
