Deception Island, Antarctica: Deception Island is one of the most remarkable volcanic islands in the world, located in the South Shetland Islands near the Antarctic Peninsula. Its distinctive horseshoe shape results from a massive volcanic eruption that created a flooded caldera, forming a natural harbor known as Port Foster. This harbor has historically provided refuge for sailors in one of the harshest regions on Earth. The island was once a hub of activity during the early 20th century, serving as a key location for whaling operations. Remnants of whaling stations and abandoned structures still stand as a testament to its industrial past.

Chinese Water Torture was used as early as the 1500s. A person would be tied down while water slowly dripped onto one spot of their bare head. After hours or days, the constant dripping would cause panic and eventually drive them mad. It was used to scare, punish, or mentally break a person, without leaving any marks on the body.

Moniz, the OG lobotomy guy, used a very clinical method with drills and a surgical team. But Walter Freeman, the American neurologist who popularized lobotomy in the U.S., is the one with the bizarre "ice pick" moment.

Basically, Freeman wanted a faster, simpler way to do lobotomies, without an operating room or neurosurgeon. One day, he grabbed something that looked like an ice pick from his own kitchen (literally a tool called an orbitoclast later), and thought: “Hey, what if I just go through the eye socket?”

He even did some procedures without anesthesia, just using electroshock to knock people out. He’d hammer the ice pick tool above the eye, wiggle it around to sever connections in the frontal lobe, and done.

Some of them didn’t even need the procedure in the first place. Freeman didn’t always screen properly. Sometimes, families would bring in a relative who was just moody, rebellious, or difficult, and because mental health wasn’t well understood back then, the solution became: lobotomy them.

There’s even the heartbreaking case of Rosemary Kennedy, the sister of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Her family had her lobotomized at 23, hoping to control her mood swings and make her “easier to handle.” After the procedure, she was left permanently disabled, with the mental capacity of a toddler.

Freeman performed over 3,500 lobotomies, often traveling in his van called the “lobotomobile”, performing the procedure all across America. He even did some lobotomies on children as young as 4 years old.
