flowing E into Larsen Ice Shelf N of Foyn Point, Oscar II Coast, was seen from the air as an inlet by Wilkins, 20 December 1928, and named Evans Inlet after Edward Steptoe Evans (1879-1945), manufacturer of Detroit, Mich.; Manager, Detroit Arctic Expedition, 1925-26 (Wilkins, 1929, p.364; BA chart 3175, 1.iii.1940; APC, 1955, p.9); surveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in November 1947.

The feature was resurveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in September 1955 and recognized as a glacier; renamed Evans Glacier (APC, 1958, p.4; BA chart 3570, 29.ix.1961). Lednik Evansa (Soviet Union.

Name ID: 124914
Place ID: 4375
A gently-sloping glacier 15 mi long and 4 mi wide, flowing eastward from the plateau escarpment to join Hektoria Glacier between Shiver Point and Whiteside Hill, on the E coast of Graham Land. Discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in an aerial flight, Dec. 20, 1928, and named Evans Inlet by him for E.S. Evans of Detroit. A further survey by the FIDS in 1955 reported that this low-lying area is not an inlet, but is formed by the lower reaches of Hektoria Glacier and the feature now described. |

Place ID: 4375
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. |
