Evans Piedmont Glacier

Evans Piedmont Glacier is a broad ice sheet occupying the low-lying coastal platform between Tripp Island and Cape Archer in Victoria Land, Antarctica, terminating at the Ross Sea. It is about 35 nautical miles (65 kilometers) long. The glacier was circumnavigated in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party during the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1956 to 1958, and it is named for Petty Officer Edgar Evans of the Royal Navy, a member of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910 to 1913 who was part of the South Pole party under Captain Robert Falcon Scott and died on the Beardmore Glacier during the return journey.
