Mount Hodges (54°16′S 36°32′W) is a mountain, 605 metres (1,985 ft) high, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of Mount Duse, close northwest of the head of King Edward Cove, Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. It was first roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjöld, appearing as "Moldaenke Berg" on a 1907 map by A. Szielasko, but the name has not survived on later general charts of this area. The name "Mount Hodges" appears to have been applied some years later and is now well established. It was probably named for Captain M.H. Hodges, Royal Navy, of the Sappho, who visited and mapped portions of Cumberland Bay in 1906.
