The Morro Labra ( Spanish ; in Argentina Morro Carrizo ) is a hill on the Joinville Island in the Joinville Islands group off the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises above King Point on the northwest boundary of the entrance to Ambush Bay .
Chilean scientists named him Roberto Labra Muñoz, delegate of the Chilean army on board the Maipo for the 9th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1954–1955), who had already acted as head of the Bernardo O'Higgins station in the Antarctic winter of 1950 . Argentine scientists, however, named him after Segundo Carrizo, who had belonged to the crew of the ship Uruguay in 1903 .
