Hodgkins Seamount is a seamount in the Kodiak-Bowie Seamount chain, located south of Pierce Seamount and north of Bowie Seamount. It has apparently experienced two generically different episodes of volcanism, separated by about 12 million years.[1] Like the rest of the Kodiak-Bowie seamounts, it was formed by the Bowie hotspot.
