Spice Islands. Cape Horn (55Â°58â² S, 67Â°16â² W) At this spot the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet, often in a confrontation. No land to the east, none to the westâwinds sweep all the way around the world from the west.

That tribute goes to Cape Agulhas, 105 miles (170 km) to the south east. Cape Agulhas also defines the official geographic divide between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
