The three great capes (Africa 's Cape of Good Hope, Australia 's Cape Leeuwin, and South America 's Cape Horn) defined the traditional clipper route between Europe and the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. [9]
The Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is often thought to be the southern tip of Africa, but it's not. The southern tip is actually Cape Agulhas, 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of Good Hope.
For names of actual capes, see the specific element of the names; for example, Hatteras, Cape; Good Hope, Cape of. Other geographic names beginning with Cape are entered under Cape; for example, Cape Town, South Africa; Cape York Peninsula.
