Jagged Island is a rocky island lying 5 kilometres (2.5 nmi) north-northwest of Round Point, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The island, presumably known to early sealers in the area, was charted by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II in 1935 and given this descriptive name.[1]
