Original Title: A Scientist Was Poisoned at the South Pole & No One Knows How (2026) - Investigating the unexplained death of astrophysicist Rodney Marks at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where toxicology later revealed methanol poisoning [17:18]

This documentary follows the strange death of Australian astrophysicist Rodney Marks, who became seriously ill while working at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the Antarctic winter. What first appeared to be a tragic medical emergency became far more disturbing when toxicology results later revealed methanol poisoning. The case remains one of Antarctica’s most unsettling mysteries, because no one has ever fully explained how a scientist was poisoned in one of the most isolated places on Earth.
