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?

Anywhere that isn’t directly controlled by a country is considered International Waters from a legal perspective, even if it isn’t actually on water. Antarctica, the bottom of the ocean, the Moon, Mars, Pluto, a space ship traveling between galaxies, all International Waters.
Basically, if the accused and the victim are from the same country, then it’s easy, they deal with it. If the parties are from different countries then there are guidelines and procedures for choosing what country will try the accused.
