Horlicks milky-chocolate-flavored disks in paper packets, which were eaten as candy, were marketed in the USA via radio commercials touting the ease with which they could be taken to school by children.
This was exploited by the company in a 1990s advertising campaign, in which a harassed housewife exclaims "Horlicks" in a context where a stronger term could have been expected, thus widening the term's exposure and usage for a while.
The term was used in July 2003 by British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw ("a complete Horlicks") to describe irregularities in the preparation and provenance of a dossier regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

 EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD Part 2
MOUNTAIN BUILDING—During the Flood, vast amounts of water came from the skies, yet, according to Genesis 7:20, the surface of the world did not have high mountains.
Studying accumulation zones, ablation zones, and feet of mountain glaciers today helps scientists better understand the mechanics of the glacial activity that, several thousand years ago, overspread the northern reaches of North America.
Dinosaurs were alive, but the largest of them were plant eaters, and the fiercest may have occupied themselves with attacking the vegetarian ones (just as the gigantic sperm whale only attacks the giant squid, while ignoring the other ocean creatures).

In 1883 Horlick was issued a patent for first malted milk drink mixing powder with hot water.
Horlick was so appreciated that Admiral Byrd named a mountain range for William Horlick in recognition of their consistent support of his Antarctic expeditions.
The Horlick Mountains rise to a height of 9000 feet (3000m) toward the southern extreme of the Ross Ice shelf and can be found at 86oS, 115oW.

 Ohio Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ohio Range (84°45′S 114°00′W) is a mountain range in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica.
The range forms the northeast end of the Horlick Mountains and consists primarily of a large snow-topped plateau with steep northern cliffs and several flat-topped ridges and mountains.
The range was surveyed in 1958-59 by the USARP Horlick Mountains Traverse, and was investigated in 1960-61 and 1961-62 by geologists of the Institute of Polar Studies of The Ohio State University, for which the range is named.

The West Antarctic Ice Stability: The Glacial Geologic Record from the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains in the Bottleneck
The field location is situated in the “Bottleneck”, a unique, relatively narrow passage in the Transantarctic Mountains connecting the West and East Antarctic ice sheets (Figs 1-3).
Data along the entire length of this ice stream is critical to testing and calibrating the dynamic ice sheet models necessary to predict the future behavior of the ice sheet in response to climate changes.

 Transantarctic Mountains Structural Data
Although workers in Antarctica have proposed a variety of tectonic settings for the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), most researchers now agree that the TAM are an uplifted rift shoulder.
Most of the data and models presented on this website are for the Ross Embayment sector of the TAM because the mountains are best exposed there and consequently the tectonic picture is clearer.
Beyond the end of the Horlick Mountains, the TAM lose exposure and continuity, and it is unclear exactly how the modern TAM in the Ross Sea sector are related to: 1) the Whitmore and Ellsworth Mountains to the west; and/or 2) the Pensacola, Shackleton, and Theron Mountains to the east.

Men who had to traverse the coasts of the new oceans knew that, nestled in the mountains of Ararat, was a boat which had successfully done it.
The "going and decreasing" of the waters occupied 74 days, then the tops of the mountains were seen (8:5, note the margin).
The fresh olive leaf (which was found shortly after the Ark beached in the Ararat Mountains) would have had as much as four months to sprout from an asexually propagated olive branch buried near the surface of the soil.

West Antarctic Ice Sheet stability: The glacial geologic record from the Ohio Range of the Horlick Mountains in the Bottleneck.
Because the glacier emerges from the mountains above the grounding line, its surface slope and elevation should record changes in the thickness of grounded ice in the Ross Sea up to the present.
On mountain glaciers, buildup of ice bulges is associated with a sharp increase in ice velocity in a relatively short time.

 Transantarctic Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blue ice covering Lake Fryxell, in the Transantarctic Mountains, comes from glacial meltwater from the Canada Glacier and other smaller glaciers.
The Transantarctic Mountains (85°00′S 175°00′W) are a mountain range in Antarctica which extend with some interruptions between Cape Adare and Coats Land, these mountains serving as the division between East Antarctica and West Antarctica.
Included are the continuous but separately named mountain groups along the west side of the Ross Sea and the western and southern sides of Ross Ice Shelf; also the Horlick Mountains, the Thiel Mountains, Pensacola Mountains, Shackleton Range and Theron Mountains.

These data are essential for the numerical modeling of the ice sheet from its maximum to its present configuration.
GPS observations in the Transantarctic Mountains would test the hypothesis of a large, late collapse in the Ross Embayment and would complement RSL inferences from Victoria Land, which are sensitive both to past ice mass changes in the Ross Embayment and in the adjacent regions of East Antarctica.
GPS observations could also address tectonic questions, such as whether there is ongoing extension of West Antarctica, although the glacial rebound horizontal response is potentially significant, and would need to be considered.

Mountain ranges are cursed with names of politicians and bureaucrats applied by those currying favour, the worst all perhaps being the naming of the "Royal Society Range" after members who did their level-best to prevent the appointment of Capt. Scott to the 1901 Expedition, and were able to block him being awarded a knighthood afterwards.
Dolerites and sandstone are known from Northern Victoria Land, and the continued existence of the Kukri Peneplain is probable and the accordance of summits seen in the Roberson Bay Group greywackes suggests it might have extended north-east to the Ross Sea and north to the Cape Hallet region.
It can also be followed down the mountains south to the region of the Beardmore Glacier and to the Horlick Mountains, and probably much further, possibly right into the Indian Ocean coast in Queen Maud Land, but it does not seem to be well documented.

I believe it was the LC-47 which caught a ski in snow contorted waves - sastruugi (sp?) - (caused by wind, resulting in a very rough surface - sort of like an aircraft with pontoons landing in heavy sea waves).
This occurred early in the season and no one was hurt, other than the A/C. Or it could be the aircraft which put a prop through the port fuselage.

These experiments aim to remotely investigate the deep and shallow structure and composition of the mantle, lithosphere and WAIS and sample the active volcanism in selected locations.
To image the crust and lithosphere of some of the youngest volcanoes and the northern and southern edges of the West Antarctic Rift System in MBL and central west Antarctica, we will deploy a passive seismic experiment, along a linear array of stations extending from MBL to the Horlick Mountains.
The new images of the deep earth structures will delineate the thermal regime in the lithosphere --advancing our understanding of the origin of the MBL magmatism and constraining ice sheet dynamics models as well as the mechanics of rifting.
