The Cerro Delfín (Spanish for dolphin hill ) is a hill on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the west side of Cape Shirreff , the northern end of the John Paul II Peninsula , it rises south of Playa Bahamonde and immediately west of Punta La Caverna .
Scientists of the 45th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1990–1991) named it because, viewed from a distance, it resembles the dorsal fin of a dolphin .
