The Corner Rock (from English corner 'corner, angle' ) is a cliff in the eastern entrance to the Meek Canal in the group of Argentine islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . The rock is halfway between Corner Island and Galíndez Island .
A mapping of the rock was made by participants of the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill in 1935. The naming was based on that of Corner Island.
