Been wondering, if for example you committed a crime in Antartica, what would happen to you? Are you going to be deported back to your country or serve jail time in Antartica?

I spent two summers on the ice, early October to 6 mid February. Honestly, they’re pretty good about getting people off the ice fast whet things go south. We had an electrician from Maryland with a giant rebel flag tattoo on his forearm. Now, he’s not among people who have any love for that way of thinking. He was kinda shunned a bit, but people were still polite enough. He broke. As I understand, he threw a bit of a tantrum, urinated all over his room. Yeah, he got evac’ed on the next flight that came in.
The winter after I left apparently descended into madness. There were maybe 40 people in the station, but somehow, gang violence happened. Attempted sabotage, fisticuffs, and accusations of attempted murder. It was a very bad winter. Surly September came with a vengeance. I understand that the first person off the first plane that landed was a US Marshall who took someone into custody and escorted them home. I had a couple of friends who stayed over and kept me informed of the madness. I’m so glad I decided against wintering that year.
They take conflict seriously. The one time I butted heads with someone, and it was nowhere near descending into anything more than an argument, we were at hr after lunch with her mediating hard. I tell you, accidentally make a small fuel air fireball and safety gets all bent out of shape.
