Punta Del Medio (from Spanish medio , 'middle, half' ) is a headland in the north of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the east side of Cape Shirreff , the northern branch of the John Paul II Peninsula , it is located between Playa Marko in the north and Playa Larga in the south.
Scientists of the 45th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1990–1991) named it because it separates the two beaches approximately symmetrically.
