Narrative

Descubierta por Sir Hubert Wilkins durante un vuelo el 20 de diciembre de 1928. El nombre se lo dio el mismo Sir Hubert y corresponde al apellido de E.S. Evans de Detroit. La ensenada fue reavistada y cartografiada por el FIDS en 1947. Ensenada circular, de unas 9 millas de diámetro, ubicada entre la punta Shiver y la punta Whiteside, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins. Existe la presunción de que este accidente no sería una ensenada, sino la desembocadura de un glaciar del mismo.
