Our Meteorite Hunting Expeditions

For over ten years, the team at Petpidic has ventured across continents on exhilarating meteorite hunting missions. From the icy taiga forests of Northern Sweden to the scorching deserts of Atacama in Chile, our goal has always been clear: to discover ancient messengers from space — fragments that have traveled billions of years before reaching Earth.

Driven by a deep fascination with astronomy and the unknown, we’ve pushed into some of the most remote, unforgiving terrains on the planet — all to reconnect with the stars through these celestial artifacts.

Exploring the frozen wilderness of Sweden with advanced metal detectors — capable of detecting objects buried up to 3 meters deep.

A magnificent 4kg Muonionalusta meteorite — a solid piece of the universe held in our hands.

Each expedition brings its own challenges — from flooded ground and tangled roots to deep rock barriers that test our persistence.

This remarkable 3kg Muonionalusta was found 1.8 meters underground — a cosmic relic finally brought to light.

The overwhelming feeling of holding a meteorite that had remained buried beneath the Earth for over a million years.

Atacama Desert, Chile

Our journey has also taken us deep into the Atacama Desert — one of the driest and most Mars-like environments on Earth.

In the stillness of the desert, every shadow might conceal a message from the stars.

Trekking across uncharted lands in pursuit of fragments from other worlds.

The harsh, surreal beauty of the high-altitude desert — concealing ancient secrets beneath the sand.

A rare 538g iron meteorite uncovered at 3,290 meters above sea level — a humbling glimpse into deep time.
