Oh yes - this is very possible. If the email had embedded malware, it could very well have caused the black screen while it was installing itself. It sounds like it's time for your friend to get his machine scanned for malware and maybe update his firewall, virus protection and spyware protections - any maybe learn to be more careful about the emails he opens from unknown sources.

Which country's claims on Antarctica overlap?

Claims over territory on the Antarctic continent overlap based on lines of longitude and those being used to define territory claimed. The continent is covered -- 98% -- by an ice sheet, making geographic lines useless as bases for claims. Since claims were made individually by nation states, and not by any agreement, the claims overlap. The Antarctic Treaty does not recognize any claims and further prohibits future claims.
