The largely ice-covered, 5.5 x 7 km Visokoi Island consists of a single stratovolcano, Mount Hodson, whose rounded summit lies west of the center of the island. Numerous basaltic scoria cones were constructed on the lower flanks of the island, which is part of the Traverse Islands in the northern part of the South Sandwich Island chain. The youthful morphology suggests recent volcanism (LeMasurier and Thomson, 1990). Possible eruptive activity was reported during 1830 and 1930.
