South African Scientists Stranded in Antarctic Base Plead for Help as Mission Member Sexually Harasses and Threatens To Kill a Colleague
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 17, 2025 | Staff

A group of isolated researchers has been stranded for months on end in the most inhospitable environment โ€“ until one of the team members goes rogue, sexually harassing and eventually threatening to kill a female colleague.

That could be the plot of a successful thriller or horror film. Still, unfortunately, this is reportedly whatโ€™s happening in real life to a group of South African scientists trapped in the tiny Sanae IV base in Antarctica.

The story broke in the outer world because a member of the research station sent out an email to a major newspaper pleading for rescue after watching a team member threatening to kill a colleague.

The situation appears even more dire as the researchers in the Sanae IV base are isolated in the icy Antarctic wastelands for at least 10 more months.

The extreme weather in the South Pole makes coming and going nearly impossible.

If that were true, this wouldn't even be happening.

Sounds like they need to gang up on the offender and pitch the guy or gal outside without any coat on.

The team member was also accused of sexually assaulting one of his colleagues.

The author of the email, which was shared with South Africa’s Sunday Times, wrote: ‘Regrettably, his behaviour has escalated to a point that is deeply disturbing

‘Specifically, he physically assaulted [X], which is a grave violation of personal safety and workplace norms.

‘Furthermore, he threatened to kill [X], creating an environment of fear and intimidation.

‘I remain deeply concerned about my own safety, constantly wondering if I might become the next victim.’

Sounds like the threatened person should end the threat in a self defense move, and maybe the rest of the stranded folks could help

People being assigned to these high stress environments need to be vetted on criteria other than their DEI qualifications. To the contrary, using DEI criteria will likely select candidates who are defective.
