    I always conflated the Horn of Africa with Cape Horn in South America and assumed it was the southernmost tip of Africa. One of today’s 10k, I guess, but it’s pretty obvious now that I think about it, that the actual Horn of Africa might look like a horn (as does Cape Horn)

      This post gave me that realization; I’d never really seen something that illustrated what and where it was so I also in my mind thought it was the southern tip of Africa. TIL
