But that was real. A South African researcher sent a researcher IV of San African Antarctica, accused of a man, to become one of nine team members, violent and unstable intelligence. In the e-mail sent to a journalist in the Igande Times of South Africa, the publicly identified researcher immediately requires actions to ensure the safety of the group.
Depending on the times, the researcher believed that the alleged male teammate physically attacked a colleague, threatened to kill another colleague and attacked another. However, South African officials said the report of a sexual attack was not correct.
“His behavior has become increasingly harder, and I am having important difficulties in front of him,” newspapers mentioned in writing by researchers: “It is essential to ensure the safety of all my safety and employees.”
South African forestry, fishing and the environment was classified at the base that the alleged attack was allegedly attacked on February 27. The department said these mediators continued to work on a group “almost every day”.

“I will keep a close relationship with the base to ensure that it is maintained like this,” George said, “contact” with the group “team” with the group “team” “group”.
What else can do to ensure the safety of the group, George said “Considering available options”.
These options can be few, because the hard weather has cut the base completely from the sea. The basis is sitting next to a cliff. A row of buildings will be until December until December, the heart of Antarctica, the ship starts from South Africa to make a 15-day trip.
An emergency evacuation, in significant cost, should be extracted before the group.

In the past there have been several events when team members threaten violence at the remote base, and at least two other members evacuated in previous expeditions.
The latest incident has given discussions on the reliability of psychometric tests given to the team members before spending an isolated resort. Scientists were previously sent to the base and as others spoke like, surrounded by white and silence and the toll that can take the rest of the world and someone’s mental health.
