    Overview

    South Pagai (Indonesian: Pagai Selatan) is one of the Mentawai Islands of the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. The island is south of North Pagai (or Pagai Utara) Island. The population figure given for South Pagai (box to the right) refers to South Pagai District alone. The largely unpopulated south portion of Sikakap District covers the northern part of South Pagai Island, as well as various small islands in the strait between the two islands (the rest of Sikakap District, with almost all of its district population, forms the southern part of North Pagai Island). The September 2007 Sumatra earthquakes were located near these islands, producing coastal uplift, enlarging nearby islands and even producing six new ones. The 2010 Mentawai earthquake and tsunami also struck off its southwest coast, causing a tsunami.
