The first Bitcoin transaction sent from Antarctica is believed to have occurred on February 4, 2015. This transaction was significant as it demonstrated the global reach and borderless nature of Bitcoin, allowing for financial transactions even from the most remote and isolated continent on Earth. The transaction was from a user called Chris Lamprecht (@mthreat on twitter) who sent 0.1337 BTC, and it was a symbolic moment for the bitcoin community, highlighting the versatility and potential of Bitcoin as a means of exchange anywhere in the world.
