This quiz is about well-known capes and extreme points around the world. Match the names of these places to the clickable white markers on the map. A geography learning game with 15 questions.
Capes are distinctive headlands or promontories.
Extreme points refer to the northernmost, easternmost, southernmost or westernmost points of an area. They also include the highest and lowest points (which are not covered here).
Here you can learn about a
selection of
well-known extreme points. Admittedly, it’s a very subjective selection. Is there a particularly well-known extreme point missing?
One of the best-known capes is undoubtedly the
Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. However, it is not the southernmost point of the African continent. That would be
Cape Agulhas (not included in this quiz).
