If anyone didn't know, Alaska has the highest rate of sexual violence in the US.

I wonder if this is an effect of isolation?

I'm curious what sort of environmental factors influence this sort of behavior.

environmental factors like it being really fucking cold 8 months out of the year?

Keep in mind that there's only 700,000 people in Alaska. 14 cases are gonna show up on the national scale.

This is about Antarctica, the SOUTH pole, even souther than Alabama, hon. Not Alaska way up north.
