Horlick Mountains Traverse

	Horlick Mountains Traverse The Horlick Mountains Traverse, along with the Little America-Byrd Station Traverse and the Sentinel Mountains Traverse, was one of three Antarctic traverses performed by Dr. Charles Bentley and his team before and during the International Geophysical Year The International Geophysical Year (IGY; french: Année géophysique internationale) was an international scientific project that lasted from 1 July 1957 to 31 December 1958. It marked the end of a long period during the Cold War when scientific i ... of 1957-1958. Bentley spent two consecutive years in Antarctica completing these traverses and collecting data on the continent's geology and climate.

	Little America-Byrd Station Traverse The Little America-Byrd Station Traverse, along with the Horlick Mountains Traverse and the Sentinel Mountains Traverse, was a traverse of Antarctica performed by Dr. Charles Bentley before and during the International Geophysical Year of 1957-1958. In this instance, Dr. Bentley and his team traveled from the research station called Little America V to another called Byrd Station The Byrd Station is a former research station established by the United States during the International Geophysical Year by U.S. Navy Seabees during Operation Deep Freeze II in West Antarctica.

	Charles R Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed i ...

	International Geophysical Year The International Geophysical Year (IGY; french: Année géophysique internationale) was an international scientific project that lasted from 1 July 1957 to 31 December 1958. It marked the end of a long period during the Cold War when scientific interchange between East and West had been seriously interrupted. Sixty-seven countries participated in IGY projects, although one notable exception was the mainland People's Republic of China, which was protesting against the participation of the Republic of China ( Taiwan). East and West agreed to nominate the Belgian Marcel Nicolet as secretary general of the associated international organization. The IGY encompassed eleven Earth sciences: aurora and airglow, cosmic rays, geomagnetism, gravity, ionospheric physics, longitude and latitude determinations (precision mapping), meteorology, oceanography, seismology, and solar activity. The timing of the IGY was particularly suited for studying some of these phenomena, since it cove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
