Hi List

As far as I know, Canada has similar laws about boundry waters as does the
US. So, he would have to either get beyond the boundry line from Canada (who
doesn't allow for collecting meteorites like this I believe) or figure out
where the US area is and stay within it. If Russia has any laws about their
boundry waters, that also may be an issue. Greenland may be pretty easy to
deal with as would Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Do you mean illegal as in against the rules at Ebay, or illegal as in an
illegal collecting area?
The Ebay part, I don't know. But the collecting in the Arctic part would
depend on the laws in the
nation in who's Arctic area he wants to collect. You aren't thinking of
Antarctica, are you? He
couldn't collect them legally in Antarctica. But he didn't say Antarctica,
he said the Arctic.
Which doesn't have the same meteorite concentrating mechanisms as
Antarctica, so it would be a
stupid expedition. But I'm sure that it's a scam, anyway.
