The Hodges Glacier was a glacier on South Georgia . It flowed 1.5 km west of Grytviken from the southern flank of Petrel Peak to the foot of Mount Hodges .
Landsat images from 2002 show that the glacier has completely disappeared. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 based on the name of Mount Hodges. Its namesake is Michael Henry Hodges (1874-1951), captain of the HMS Sappho , a protected cruiser of the Apollo class , which was used to survey this area in 1906.
