Mount Liszt is a snow-covered and around 600 m high mountain with a steep slope on its southeast side in the southwest of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . On the Beethoven Peninsula, it rises 8 km northeast of Mount Grieg .
A number of mountains in the area appear for the first time on map material that was created in the course of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey 1960 mapped Mount Grieg and Mount Liszt , which are included in this, using aerial photographs that were also taken during this research trip. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain on March 2, 1961 after the Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811–1886).
