A mountain group in the Transantarctic Mountains, lying eastward of Reedy Glacier and including the Wisconsin Range, Long Hills and Ohio Range. The mountains were discovered in two observations by the ByrdAE, 1933-35, one by Kennett L. Rawson from a position in about 8305S, 10519W, at the end of his SE flight of Nov. 22, 1934, and another by Quin Blackburn in Dec. 1934, from positions looking up Leverett and Albanus Glaciers. Portions of the Wisconsin Range are recorded in aerial photography obtained by USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47. The entire mountain group was surveyed by USARP parties and was mapped from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959-64. Named by Admiral Byrd for William Horlick, of the Horlick's Malted Milk Corp., a supporter of the Byrd expedition of 1933-35. |
