Mount Hodson is an ice-covered stratovolcano and the highest point on Visokoi Island, South Sandwich Islands. It might have erupted in 1830 and 1930, and the summit usually steams.[1] Named after Sir Arnold Wienholt Hodson (1881–1944), Governor of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies, 1926–1930.[2]
