The Mezzo Buttress (English for central pillar ) is an approximately 1000 m high rock pillar on the Graham coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises immediately to the east of the mouth of the Lawrie Glacier in the Barilari Bay .
Participants of the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill mapped them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it that way in 1959, because its front side consists of red and black stone about halfway diagonally.
