Mount Cabeza ( Spanish Monte Cabeza , translated: head mountain ; in the United Kingdom Mount Morgagni ) is a 1150 m high mountain in the northeast of the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago . In Stavertsi Ridge, it rises 1.5 km southwest of Hales Peak on the southeast flank of the Paré Glacier .
Participants in an Argentine Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1953 to 1954 gave it its descriptive name, which the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated into English in 1965. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, however, named the mountain on September 23, 1960 after the Italian pathologist Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682–1771).
