In a shocking incident, a group of scientists stuck in an Antarctician base has sought help through an E -mail, citing threats by one of their colleagues. South African scientists, who are at Sanae IV Base, a research station in Antarctica for another 10 months, have claimed that one of their colleagues has threatened to kill another member, according to a Daily Mail report.

Last week, a researcher of the isolated team sent an E -mail in relation to E -mail, saying that a colleague of the team was attacked and made additional threats.

According to E -mail, which was shared with Sunday Times in South Africa, the group lived with the fear of the individual, who was seen as a danger to the whole team.

The same person was also accused of sexually assaulting a colleague.

The author of Email wrote: “Unfortunately, his behavior escalated to a point that is deeply disturbing,” according to a Daily Mail report, which read Sunday Times in South Africa.

Mail also said: “Specifically, he physically assaulted (X), which represents a serious violation of personal safety rules and job. Moreover, he threatened to kill (X), creating an environment of fear and intimidation. “

The report did not mention any names.

The author also raised the concern about the “increasingly unpleasant behavior” of his colleague, using immediate actions.

“I face significant difficulties in feeling sure in his presence. There was a verbal altercation between the team leader and this person. Then he climbed and then that person physically attacked the leader. You can imagine what it is. It is a quarter close and people receive a cabin fever. It can be very disorientating, “the E -mail continued.

Taking note of incident, the South African Minister Dion George said he would personally communicate with the team to evaluate the situation.

The hard weather conditions in Antarctica, combined with the absence of humans or animals, leaves the research team completely isolated.
