Hoste is one of the southernmost islands in Chile, lying south of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and west of Isla Navarino, from which it is separated by the Murray Channel. The western area of the island forms part of the Alberto de Agostini National Park. The most southern point of the island is the False Cape Horn, on the Hardy Peninsula.

In Magellania, Jules Verne described an imaginary republic on the island.
