Mount Popov (English, Bulgarian Попов връх Popov wrach ) is a 650 m high and massive mountain in Bigla Ridge at the Foyn coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . With its distinctive and rocky slopes, it rises 13 km south-southwest of Balder Point , 7.65 km northwest of Spur Point and 12.64 km northeast of Varad Point . the Beaglehole Glacier is to the west and the Cabinet Inlet to the northeast of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1974. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the Bulgarian physicist Todor Popow, who was active in two consecutive Antarctic summer campaigns on the St. Kliment-Ohridski station on Livingston Island from 1996 onwards.
