22-1-31 Travel all over the world in one day.

I had an English class yesterday and learned about cape. Although I met many people, I still didn't recognize it. Write down your notes honestly and think about what other famous cape in the world besides the Cape of Good Hope mentioned in geography textbooks before?

There are few people at leisure on weekends. I want to review yesterday's words. As soon as I open my mind map, I see "Looking for the world-famous cape". So, the words stand aside.

Search online, look at the words one by one, then take the Chinese globe around, and then go to the English world map on the wall to look at it.

1. Cape of Good Hope

Perhaps the famous Cape of Good Hope is so festive (beautiful hope) that I have never forgotten its name since I learned it from textbooks.

Landmark: at the southwest end of South Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean,

The Cape of Good Hope was once the only sea passage from Europe to the East. Discovered by Portuguese navigators more than 5 years ago, they finally bypassed this corner and entered India to establish maritime trade. The name was changed by the then Portuguese king.

Later, fleets from many European countries passed through here for India, Indonesia, the Philippines and China. The sovereignty of the Cape of Good Hope changed several times with the rise and decline of the maritime empire.

Since the opening of the Suez Canal, its importance has been weakened, and only some giant ships have to detour from here due to the limitation of tonnage. But, the ship is loaded with oil, grain and strategic raw materials, so it is actually a very important waterway.

Landmark: The End of European Land, west of Lisbon, Portugal

This is the' Tianya Haijiao' in Europe, and it is the last memory of the sailors on the voyage. This is the westernmost point of Eurasia, also known as the Horn of Europe!

National Geographic once named this place as one of the "5 Most Worth Visiting Places in the World"! (I have to see which 5 places are, make a list and dream of crossing them one by one)

A cross facing the ocean is set up at Cape Roca, and a famous sentence is written in Portuguese: "The land ends here and the sea begins in Sri Lanka"!

Landmark: South America. The southernmost tip of Chile, the dividing line between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean

Cape Horn is one of the most challenging sea routes in the world. It is known as the' marine cemetery' because it is located at the southernmost tip of the American continent, facing the South Pole across the Strait, and it is the worst sea channel in the world. Due to the unusual storm, the sea is cold. In history, more than 5 ships sank at Cape Horn, and more than 2, people were buried at the bottom of the sea. This bad situation was changed after the Panama Canal was completed.

Landmark: the southwestern tip of the Australian mainland, Western Australia

This is the junction of Australia and the Pacific Ocean.

There are lighthouses at each of the above ends. Some of them have been abandoned, some still guide passing ships, and some people keep watch all the year round. The era of great navigation has long been history. What kind of life does the tower keeper live now?

Starting from cape, you can visit four famous corners of the world in one day. All you need is a device with Internet access. Today, I'm scratching my boots, and he should visit them one by one!
