Evans Lake is a comparatively deep lake of irregular shape lying east of Poa Cove, Maiviken, in the north of the Thatcher Peninsula, South Georgia. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after John C. Ellis-Evans, a British Antarctic Survey freshwater biologist from 1975, and Head of the Freshwater Biology Section from 1979, who worked during several summers and two winters on Signy Island and one summer on South Georgia.[1]
