Hodges Glacier
Hodges Glacier is, or was, a small glacier one nautical mile west of Grytviken, South Georgia, flowing from the south side of Petrel Peak to the foot of Mount Hodges.
The name 'Hodges' was recommended by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee and derives from association with Mount Hodges.[1]
The name was given following glaciological work by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey.
Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery in 2002 showed that the glacier had completely disappeared.
