<div id="ygrps-yiv-930537953">Well, I have now bought a few 1:50 000 maps, of the ZA-tripoints, other <br/>
parts of the borders and Cape Agulhas. <br/>
<br/>
And is Cape Agulgas = E20 = most southern point of Africa? <br/>
<br/>
The map DO show a few more southern dry land points than E20. But saying <br/>
that, I must add there is heavy competition, and I think things change alot <br/>
during tides. The water was far easier accesible when I was there 3 years <br/>
ago. <br/>
<br/>
Conclusion: If Cape Agulhas is an area rather than a point then it is the <br/>
most southern point. If they hadn&#39;t placed the monument on E20, but +/-20 <br/>
meters it would still mark the most southern point. And as we have discussed <br/>
earlier about extreme points (like Nordkap or Grenen, DK) other people are <br/>
not as accurate as us (or me). Infact they might be happy being deceived. <br/>
<br/>
Unfortunately I will return back North on Tuesday. <br/>
