Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point in the continent of Africa. It is located at 34°50′00″S 20°00′09.15″E / -34.833333, 20.0025417 in the Overberg region, 170 kilometres (105 mi) southeast of Cape Town. The cape was named by Portuguese navigators, who called it Cabo das Agulhas - Portuguese for "Cape of Needles" - after noticing that the direction of magnetic north coincided with true north in the region.[1] The cape is within the Cape Agulhas Municipality of the Western Cape province of South Africa.[2]
