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. ==Falklands War== During the Falklands War, two Argentine McDonnell Douglas A-4C Skyhawks crashed on the island on 9 May 1982〔SN: C-303 and C-313〕 - both of the pilots - Lt Jorge Casco and Lt Farias - were killed. C313 (Lt Casco's Aircraft) was filmed just before this loss during mid-air refuelling. On 12 January 2001 an EOD team visited the island to dispose of any live ordnance that had become apparent since their last annual visit. The remains of Lt Casco were not found until after the war at . He was buried on 7 March 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= UK military honours for Argentine Pilot )〕 in the Argentine Military Cemetery on East Falkland. Casco's family requested that his remains be buried on the Falklands, even after they had been returned to Argentina in July 2008 for DNA testing in order to confirm their identity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Jason Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
