Comer participated in voyages involved in polar expeditions and was noted for his studies of Arctic peoples and their environment. Harry is referred to in the North as Comer's [Captain George Comer] "mate" and was the leader of a group of Iglulik Inuit known as the Aivilik or Aivillingmiut. These Inuit of the west coast region of Hudson Bay were closely associated with Comer and the American whalers for many years.
