It’s all very nice of them, I’m sure.

It makes good reading news for them, an Argentine vessel in South Georgia waters, it allows them to feed more propaganda to the masses,

Looking at it, they don’t actually have any territory/EEZ within the convention area.

Turns out that they had to get permission from the British to carry out the research in the first place.

And were: ‘required to provide the Coastal State, with preliminary reports, as soon as practicable, and with the final results and conclusions after the completion of the research’.

That must have hurt.
