(Inuit: Anaulirvik)
English explorer Henry Hudson named this cape after Sir John Wolstenholme, an English merchant that sponsored the excursion in hopes of finding the Northwest Passage. The abundance of artic foxes in the Canadian Arctic led to the establishment of the Wolstenholme Trading Post by the Hudson Bay Company.
The Inuit had already been hunting foxes, and the trading post aimed to build relationships with the Inuit to develop the Artic Fox Fur Trade. Parts of the trading post can still be seen on the Cape.
