While many believe the Cape of Good Hope is the southernmost point of Africa, that title actually belongs to Cape Agulhas. Located in the Overberg region of South Africa, it is the official dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The capital(s) of South Africa include Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein. At Cape Agulhas, the warm Agulhas Current from the Indian Ocean meets the cold Benguela Current from the Atlantic. This meeting point is known for its treacherous seas and rogue waves, leading to many historic shipwrecks. The name 'Agulhas' is Portuguese for 'needles,' referring to the jagged rocks and the fact that magnetic north once coincided with true north at this point.
