. Discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins in an aerial flight, December 20, 1928, and named Evans Inlet by him for E.S. Evans of Detroit. A further survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (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.
