Cape of Good Hope

The Cape of Good Hope is a headland in South Africa, near Cape Town, traditionally— and incorrectly — regarded as marking the turning point between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean (Technically, the division between the two oceans lies further south-east at Cape Agulhas.). The Cape of Good Hope is located at {{coor dms|34|21|23|S|18|29|15|E|}}.
