We numerically calculate the spacetime describing the formation and evaporation of a regular black hole in 2D dilaton gravity. The apparent horizons evaporate smoothly in finite time to form a compact trapped region. The spacetime is asymptotically flat at future null infinity and is free of singularities and global horizons. We nevertheless see rich dynamics; an anti-trapped region forms alongside the black hole, and additional compact trapped/anti-trapped regions are formed by backreaction effects as the mass radiates away. These results suggest that the evaporation of regular 2D black holes is unitary.
