Mount Belolikov ( Russian Гора Белоликова Gora Belolikowa ) is a striking and 1120 m high mountain on the western flank of the Gannutz Glacier , about 13 km west-northwest of Mount Bruce in the Bowers Mountains .
The first aerial photographs of the area were taken during Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The geodetic survey was carried out by participants in the Second Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956–1958). The mountain is named after the meteorologist Anatoli Michailowitsch Belolikow (1931-1960), who was killed in a fire on the Mirny station on August 3, 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Russian name into English in 1964.
