South Wolf Island is the largest of a small group of uninhabited islands called the Wolf Islands off of the east coast of Labrador.[1] The group stretches 4.5 km from north to south.[2]

South Wolf Island is in the centre of the group and has a high flat range with a conical boulder at the summit, at 94.8 m. Its south end has a cove which can provide shelter to small vessels.[2]
