South Africa · Where mountains meet two oceans
The rocky headland the old sailors called the Cape of Storms — wind, spray and the famous signpost at the south-western tip of Africa.
Lesser-known fact
Bartolomeu Dias first named it Cabo das Tormentas (Cape of Storms) in 1488; it was later renamed Cape of Good Hope for the sea route it opened to the East.
