There is an indication that computers are connecting to the "Tor" anonymizing proxy network from Antarctica. This information is anonymously self-reported by the connecting client computers and it's entirely possible that the locations are inaccurate. However, there is also a possibility that malicious software has been installed on computers in one of your research stations which is using the Tor network for command-and-control purposes, unbeknownst to the owners. I would encourage you to investigate this matter.
I'm an operator of Tor relays and take an interest in the activity on the network, but I'm not directly affiliated with the Tor Project<https://torproject.org>nor do I claim to represent them. Please refer to their website for further information and official contact addresses. I've also sent this message to their mailing list should you wish to follow up, there.
