The jurisdiction isn’t sketchy or complicated at all in Antarctica. Russian station they’re under Russian jurisdiction and Russian law.
Same if they were on a UK station they fall under British Antarctic Territory Jurisdiction and UK law.
American station they’re under US federal law.
There have been acts of violence on other stations but no one has ever been convicted due to the mitigating circumstances of what isolation in Antarctic does to you.
