Cape Bojador is a prominent headland located on the northwest coast of Africa, specifically in Western Sahara. It is known for its steep cliffs and challenging waters, which historically posed significant navigation difficulties for sailors. The cape marks the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Historically, Cape Bojador was considered a major milestone for explorers during the Age of Discovery. Many believed that beyond the cape lay dangerous waters and unknown territories. It was not until the 15th century that Portuguese explorers successfully navigated past it, opening new routes for trade and exploration along the African coast.
