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?
In: 759
Would it be considered a cold case?
OP planning on taking his wife to Antarctica?
you would probably be deported back to your country. I don’t think anyone would want to try and sustain a prisoner in Antarctica
[Unless of course it was to do this](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxDHrto2QaHaSTmtyjOQNgIBPGVUsZcWHt?si=9GoDEXqVlMU0WWLA)
There’s a fun audio fiction podcast about this called [90 Degrees South](https://open.spotify.com/show/3Gvhlm7TxlNQPLFdSMtIyI), quite a fun listen
Depends. Are you one of the various elites that have no apparent scientific or research ties, yet mysteriously keep making the very long, very tortuous journey to the end of the world? Nothing to see here, guys, just another elite going to Antarctica for no reason at all. No questions.
Many countries have laws that say you gotta follow your home countries laws as best you can even in foreign countries AND when outside the jurisdiction of any country. “International waters” is not the free pass to murder and shit like movies portray.
For example if an American citizen went somewhere that having sex with children is legal and did so and the feds/state finds out, you will still be prosecuted to the full extent as if you did so on US soil. It’s happened multiple times.
Does Antarctica even have a legal system?
Just as maritime law, the first country they step foot on after leaving the uninhabited land is to charge them.
