are there no rare earths in Antarctica?

@interfluidity Seems like there are:

> In Antarctica, airborne radiometric surveys have found radioactivity anomalies that have been shown, on field inspection, to be related to thorium- and uranium-bearing minerals as well as to rare-earth and tin-bearing minerals within sandstone of the basal (Devonian) parts of the Beacon Supergroup in the Darwin Glacier area of the Transantarctic Mountains.
