Didn't realize, that the UK tried to be a superpower during the Falkland war (they've won it anyway). I've always thought, they just wanted to keep their base close to the antarctica, to be able to get some of the possibly found natural reserves later on. But I might be wrong on that.

Falkland War is odd politically but that aside from that we do have a 'British Antartic Territory' which is under United Kingdom govern and owned by our head of state. So base close to antartic was not the issue there.

 

 

I'm not too sure again, but I thought as well, that you get a larger share of the antarctica, if your country is next to it (which is the case with the falklands for the UK). Fishing rights should be included in that. If somebody knows more about that, I'd be thankful for more info. And there is a Oil and Gas Company located on the Falklands, so the guess with the resources can't be that wrong^^

 

The base in the antarctica itself is just for science reasons (at least that's the case with the german one)
