South Jason is one of the Jason Islands in the north west Falkland Islands. [Strange, Ian (1983) "The Falkland Islands"] . In Spanish it is considered one of"Islas las Llaves" (eastern, Seal Rocks and North Fur Island) [http://www.pcgn.org.uk/Falkland%20Islands-July2006.pdf] , such a distinction doesn't exist in English between the two groups of the islands.

It is north west of Westpoint Island.

During the Falklands War, an Argentine McDonnell Douglas A-4C Skyhawk crashed on the island on 9th May.2 [SN: C-303 and C-313] - two people were killed in the accident.
