description Bahía Parry Overview
Bahía Parry is a fjord-like inlet on the coast of Navarino Island in the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctic Region of Chile. It forms part of the complex network of channels and coastal waters around the southern Tierra del Fuego archipelago, near the Beagle Channel. The inlet is primarily a geographic feature rather than a major urban centre, and its significance comes from its remote subantarctic setting, rugged terrain, and maritime position near Cape Horn.
