Which drink's manufacturer had a range of mountains named after him?

The drink isn't usually sold in drink form and its name is used as a mild expletive. Am I making these too difficult again? I'll add that the mountain range is in Antarctica. Feb 08 05, 1:45 AM

Oooohhhh I've got it! Horlick! http://racine.wi.net/c2f5.php3 William Horlick Horlick's Malted Milk was the first dried milk food successfully marketed throughout the world. In 1869, William left for the United States and worked for a year or two with a distant cousin in the quarrying business in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1883 Horlick was issued a patent for the first malted milk drink mixing powder with hot water. During 1933 and 1935 Rear Admiral Richard Byrd explored the Antarctic using aircraft and powered sleds. 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. William Horlick died in 1936, aged ninety. In 1945, Horlick's Malted Milk Corporation (USA) was acquired by the English Company SmithKline-Beecham. Horlick's Malted Milk is no longer produced in Racine. It is still made in parts of India, Pakistan and Bangledesh with using Buffalo milk rather than cows' milk. Feb 09 05, 10:12 PM
