"Interior of an Eskimo Snow Hut" is a 19th-century illustration by Captain George Francis Lyon, a British naval officer and explorer known for his Arctic expeditions. The artwork is a visual account of Lyon's experiences during his voyages, particularly the one aboard the HMS Hecla in 1821-1823, which was part of William Edward Parry's second Arctic expedition in search of the Northwest Passage. The illustration captures the domestic life inside an Inuit snow house (igloo), providing valuable ethnographic insight into the living conditions and cultural practices of the Inuit people at the time.

Lyon's illustration is characterized by its attention to detail and the effort to accurately depict the interior structure of the snow hut, including the construction techniques used by the Inuit to create these temporary yet sturdy shelters in the harsh Arctic environment. The image also reflects the interactions between the British explorers and the indigenous populations, showcasing aspects of mutual curiosity and cultural exchange that were a part of such expeditions.

As an artistic document, "Interior of an Eskimo Snow Hut" serves as a historical record of early 19th-century exploration and ethnography. It is an example of how art was used to convey scientific and anthropological information to audiences back in Britain, contributing to the broader understanding of remote regions and peoples during the Age of Discovery. The illustration is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its role in the history of polar exploration and the study of Inuit culture.
