Nowhere else on earth do Africa and Antarctica so impressively come together as at South Africa’s cape! It’s a place where cold-loving penguins live alongside desert-dwelling ostriches, and which is similarly home to surfing sea snails and live-bearing chameleons. The Cape Peninsula marks the point where two mighty ocean currents collide: the icy, nutrient-rich Benguela current and the warm Agulhas from the tropics. And the interactions between them define life on the cape – both above and under water.
