Answer:
Geological exploration.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Antarctic Treaty, in force since 1961, established as its application area the south of the 60ºS parallel and defined that this region would be used only for peaceful purposes, with freedom of scientific research and promotion of international cooperation on the continent, prohibition of any activity of military nature, the freezing of territorial claims, the prohibition of nuclear explosions and the disposal of radioactive waste, and the preservation of the Antarctic ecosystem. While territorial claims in Antarctica are frozen, many countries maintain their territorialist aspirations to possibly be managed in the future.
