He also was a competent British naval officer commander explorer artist and socialite. While not having a particularly distinguished career he is remembered for the entertaining journals he kept and for the watercolors paintings he completed in the Arctic. In 1821 he was promoted commander and appointed to the Hecla under the orders of Captain William Edward Parry in the Fury.</p>_x000d_<p>The expedition Parry's second in the search for the north-west passage sailed on 8 May 1821 entered the Arctic region through Hudson Strait examined Repulse Bay and the neighboring coast of Melville peninsula and wintered at a small island to the eastward of the Frozen Strait. The next summer they went further north and entered Fury and Hecla Strait but the season being then far advanced they turned back wintered at Igloolik lat. 69°21' N long. 81°44' W and came home in autumn 1823 as signs of scurvy among the crew made it inadvisable to stay.</p>_x000d_<p>His Private Journal proved popular and there was a second edition the following year. He had a genuine interest in the "Natives" of the countries he visited. The information recorded about the Inuit tribes that he met proved valuable to later generations of anthropologists who relied on his journals as a reference point for their own observations.</p>_x000d_<p>Arctic Bibliography 10531: "Author's record of the second Parry expedition to Canadian Arctic waters in the Fury and Hecla 1821-23."</p>_x000d_<p>Field 961: "Almost the entire volume is devoted to the narration of the peculiarities of the Aborigines of the Arctic regions."</p>_x000d_<p>Sabin 42853: «8º pp. xiii i 468 pags. 7 plates Â… The work is principally devoted to the narration of the peculiarities of the aborigines of the Artic regions.

1825168765London: John Murray 1825. First edition detailing Lyon's attempt to reach the North West Passage through Hudson Bay on the HMS Griper. The voyage proved unsuccessful in finding the passage due to poor weather conditions. The work also describes the Inuit of the Southampton Islands and the author's scientific findings. George Francis Lyon 1795-1832 had made a name for himself accompanying Joseph Ritchie's scientific expedition in Africa. Lyon organized a publication of their findings on his return to London in 1820. He then accompanied Parry's attempt on the northwest passage on the Hecla in 1823 publishing The private journal of Captain G. F. Lyon the following year. Lyon was then promoted captain and appointed the Griper. "Lyon's instructions were to reach Repulse Bay by whatever route he judged best and from it to examine the coast of the mainland westward to the point where John Franklin's voyage had ended its survey. He sailed on 6 June but the season proved unfavourable and he returned to England in November." The route that he chose "for reasons that never became clear" Howgego took them south of Southampton Island approaching Repulse Bay through Roes Welcome Sound and required "navigating a labyrinth of treacherous shoals". Foul weather and high winds forced Lyon to return incurring the wrath of Sir John Barrow at the Admiralty as a result of which he was never offered another commission.
