At the Cape Point Lighthouse
15.02.2010
The Cape Point Lighthouse, just south of Cape Town, is the most powerful on the South African coast. With a range of 63 kilometres, it beams out a group of three flashes of 10 million candlepower each, every 30 seconds. The Cape of Good Hope is where two of Earth's most contrasting water masses — the cold Benguela current and the warm Agulhas current — meet. Many people think that this is also where the Atlantic Ocean joins the Indian Ocean. Geographically, however, the two oceans meet further east at Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa.
