Cape Lyon

Cape Lyon is located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, within Darnley Bay, from Clapperton Island. The cape was named in honor of Captain George [Francis Lyon], R.N. by John Franklin. The topography presents with gently swelling eminences, covered with a grassy sward, and intersected by several narrow ridges of rocks, rising about. The coast ridges form high cliffs. Clay-slate and limestone lie in nearly horizontal strata beneath them. The view inland terminates with the Melville Range.
