South Iwo Jima (南硫黄島, Minami-Iōtō, "South Sulfur Island"),[1] officially Minami or South Iōtō (written with the same characters) since 18 June 2007 and also formerly known as Santo Agustino,[2] is a 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi) uninhabited island in the North Pacific. Located 60 kilometers (37 mi) south of Iwo Jima, it is the southernmost of the Volcano Islands, part of the Nanpo Archipelago. Farallon de Pajaros is the next island to its south, 541 kilometers (336 mi) away in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Occupied by the United States Armed Forces following World War II, South Iwo Jima was restored to Japanese control in 1968. It is now administered as part of Ogasawara Subprefecture in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
