Punta Pasillo (from Spanish pasillo ' hallway ' ) is a headland in the north of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the west side of Cape Shirreff , the northern branch of the John Paul II peninsula , it is located immediately north of Playa Lobería .
Scientists from the 45th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1990–1991) named it that way because there is a narrow passage here when the tide is low .
