Rhea Corner [SEP] continent
Rhea Corner
Rhea Corner () is a triangular area of exposed rock lying on the north side of Saturn Glacier in southeastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature is a promontory at the west end of the massif that includes the Deimos, Pagoda and Phobos Ridge. A cliff on the north face is about 500 m high. It was mapped by the Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery supplied by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place
, yet to Darwin their relatives on the island seemed "miserable, degraded savages", and he no longer saw an unbridgeable gap between humans and animals. As the "Beagle" neared England in 1836, he noted that species might not be fixed.
Richard Owen showed that fossils of extinct species Darwin found in South America were allied to living species on the same continent. In March 1837, ornithologist John Gould announced that Darwin's rhea was a separate species from the previously described rhea (though their territories overlapped)
