'''[[Edgar Evans]]''' was a Royal Navy officer and member of the "Polar Party" in [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s ill-fated [[Terra Nova Expedition]] to the [[South Pole]] in 1911–1912. This group of five men, personally selected for the final expedition push, attained the Pole on 17 January 1912. The party perished as they attempted to return to the base camp.

Scott's biographer Roland Huntford described Evans as "a huge, bull-necked beefy figure" and a "beery womanizer" who was "running a bit to fat" by the time of Scott's second expedition in ''[[Terra Nova]]''. Evans was nearly left behind in New Zealand when he drunkenly fell into the water while boarding the ship. However, held in high regard by Scott for "his resourcefulness, his strength and fund of anecdotes," Scott decided to overlook the incident.
