Hodikof Island is a very small island located in the Near Islands, which are part of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. It's so small that it's only about 0.1 miles (0.16 kilometers) long! This tiny island is found near Attu Island, which is at the far western end of the Aleutian chain.
Hodikof Island gets its name from a nearby place called Hodikof Point. You can find it in Sarana Bay, on the eastern side of Attu Island. There's also something called Hodikof Reef, which is like an underwater extension of the island stretching out into the sea.
