Halloween Eve of 2018 marked perhaps the most intriguing headline to grace Antarctic news. Our saga unfolds at Bellinghausen Station, a Russian research facility located within the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, where Russian scientist Sergey Savitsky stabbed a co-worker who spoiled the ending of a book he’d been wanting to read.

Spoiler alert: things didn’t end well for the sulking Slav. Savitsky awaits trial and remains in custody in Saint Petersburg. While the jury is still out, it’s safe to assume there will be plenty of time for books where he’s going.
