Punta Delfin 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 extension of the John Paul II Peninsula , it marks the north-western limit of the entrance to Bahía Mansa, south-southeast of Punta Ventana .
Scientists from the 45th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1990–1991) named them that way because the headland reminded them of the back of a dolphin .
