A kind of rock that often contains diamonds has been found in Antarctica
for the first time, hinting at mineral riches in the vast, icy continent --
where mining is banned.
No diamonds
were found, but researchers said they were confident the gems were there.
"It
would be very surprising if there weren't diamonds in these kimberlites,"
Greg Yaxley of the Australian National University
