Geography

The southern tip of Africa isn't the Cape of Good Hope

Popular geography often credits the Cape of Good Hope as the point where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet at Africa's southernmost tip. The continent's actual southernmost point is Cape Agulhas, about 150 km further southeast — the Cape of Good Hope simply became famous first, as the landmark Portuguese sailors rounded en route to India.
