First Antarctic Attempted Murder

In October 2018, engineer Sergey Savitsky at Russia's Bellingshausen Station in Antarctica stabbed welder Oleg Beloguzov after Beloguzov repeatedly spoiled the endings of books Savitsky was reading. The book in question was reportedly "The Master and Margarita." This incident marked the first arrest for attempted murder in Antarctica, though the charges were later dropped after Beloguzov forgave Savitsky.
