"In October 2017, Antarctic science had its own #MeToo moment.
Science
magazine published a piece on allegations of abuse of female geoscientists in
Antarctica – the most remote environment in the world.
US geologist Jane Willenbring detailed appalling sexual harassment during
periods of Antarctic fieldwork in the 1990s by her Boston University PhD
supervisor David Marchant. After a lengthy investigation, Marchant was fired,
and a glacier was renamed to wipe his name off the map.
Willenbring’s testimony was shocking to many in the broader public. But
anecdotally, sexual harassment has been an integral part of working in
Antarctica for women."
