Mount Hodges (54°16′S 36°32′W / 54.267°S 36.533°W) is a mountain, 605 m, standing 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) west of Mount Duse, close northwest of the head of King Edward Cove, Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. First roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold. "Moldaenke Berg" was used for this mountain 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. Probably named for Captain M.H. Hodges, Royal Navy, of the in 1906.
