## Caption

Peering off the edge of the Cape of Good Hope⛰️ - named by a Portuguese explorer in the late 1400's because it gave them hope that one could navigate around Africa and reach Asia by sea. ⛵

It's a common misconception that it's the southernmost tip of Africa. It's not - but it's close! The true southern tip is located about 120 miles southeast of here.
