Lake Volos Yuzhny is located in the Braslav District of the Vitebsk Region, 5 km north-east of Braslav, within Braslav Lakes National Park.

The lake covers 1.21 km² and reaches a maximum depth of 40.4 m (average 12.5 m). It is about 2.5 km long and up to 0.7 km wide. The shallows are sandy, while the deep part of the bottom is covered with clay silt. The shores are low and boggy in places.
