That too. In fact it was actually used as a base to neo-colonize the newly independent Argentine confederation. I think almost all latin american countries have semi-legal claims on Antarctica through spanish colonization or something.
Treaty of Tordesilla still applies!
I could be wrong, but only Chile and Argentina have claims on Antarctica, the other LatAm countries just have bases inside these areas.
Brazil; Uruguay; Colombia, Peru & Ecuador - its called the defrontación theory.
