History:
Cape Parry is named after Arctic explorer William Edward Parry and is at the northernmost point of the Parry Peninsula. Cape Parry was a Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line site established in 1957. With the site's abandonment in 1989, the airport was also listed as abandoned. In 1989 the North Warning System Long Range Radar site was established.
Also, the Cape Parry Migratory Bird Sanctuary is located here, protecting thick-billed murres habitat and offers a nesting and feeding area for wide diversity of birds. Polar bears are also in the area.
