Investigators have been sent to Antarctica after a chilling report revealed that over half of the women working at the continent's U.S. base have experienced sexual violence.
Antarctica is known for its vast icy terrain and isolated location, characteristics that mystify and intrigue outsiders - but also characteristics that have led to a rampant culture of sexual abuse.
McMurdo Station - the U.S. Antarctic research station - is under investigation for harboring a shockingly high number of sexual assault and harassment claims.
The cluster of buildings is stationed on the south tip of Ross Island and hosts up to 1,2000 residents over the summer - a large majority of Antarctica's population. At least a third of those residents are women. In the winter, the number dwindles to about 200 people.
The National Science Foundation is sending investigators to McMurdo in an effort to address the overwhelming amount of sexual violence that allegedly takes place at the remote research base.
Renée Ferranti, who boasts over 25 years experience in sexual assault prevention, was chosen to be the NSF’s new special assistant to the federal agency’s director.
Ferranti's role will 'coordinate cross-agency activities, drive policy implementation and provide expert analysis and evaluation of a sexual assault prevention and response program procedures,' according to an NSF statement released on Thursday.
Ferranti said: 'I am honored to join NSF and contribute to the important work of sexual assault prevention and response.'

Amnesia needs to stop promoting perversion around the world.
Honestly, I thought the shrinkage factor would rule out this kind of thing.
A buddy of mine spent a whole year there. He said guys left the married women alone. But the single women there were notorious for jumping from bed to bed.
Single women that would go there knew what they were in for before going.
Hammer???

The first time this overused cliche word has been accurate.
