    Is there any kind of business activity in the Antarctic territories, including both mainland and islands?

    		Some companies offer tourist trips to Antarctica. Other than that, as far as I know there are no business activities. But there are plenty of research centres.

    		Tourism and the primary agricultural activity is the capture and offshore trading of fish. Antarctic fisheries in 2000-01 reported landing 112,934 tonnes.

    Some say Britain no longer has colonies, just "dependencies" or "overseas territories" but in my 2001 encyclopedia, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, Falkland Islands (crown colony), Montserrat (crown colony), Pitcairn Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands (crown colony) are referred to as colonies. What is correct?
