Thirty four tons of iron, known as Ahnighito, is actually just one portion of a much larger piece that fell to Earth from space.  It landed in Greenland thousands of years ago before people lived there.  The original meteorite called Cape York was initially around 200 tons.  At 34 tons, Ahnighito is the largest meteorite on display in any museum.
