Today, Digger Rex is digging for dinos on the slopes of Mount Kirkpatrick in the Central Trans-Antarctic Mountains, which divide east Antarctica from west Antarctica. This mountain range is important to palaeontologists because it is home to the Hanson Formation, which is a rock formation where many dinosaur fossils from the Late Cretaceous period have been found.

It's exciting to imagine how this now snowy, barren land was once filled with all sorts of
trees and plants and lots of ancient animals. Who knows what type of dinosaur we will unearth today?!
