those who answered stated that there is no population nor government...so of the scientists who live/work/study/visit there - say one kills another...since there is no government and i would presume no law what happens to the person who commits the murder?...are they governed by whatever country they are from? what if it is a intercountry murder? say an american kills a person from another country...whose laws govern then?

Antarctica is divided roughly into pie slices based on where research stations from different countries are located.
Inside each "slice" the controlling country's laws govern. If a person were to cross into another "slice" and were to commit a heinous crime (like a murder), he/she would be held prisoner in the "slice" that the crime was commited until they can be expedited to the offended country.
If the criminal's home country asks for him/her back to be tried in the U.S. international politicals and protocol would hold true and an agreement will be negotiated.
