Stormy sea at Cape Agulhas - Impressive force of nature in South Africa (00011265)

Roaring sea at Cape Agulhas in South Africa

Description: The southern tip of Africa, also known as Cape Agulhas, is infamous for its fierce storms and the treacherous waters of the South Atlantic. Here, strong winds meet high waves that can reach up to eight meters. Cape Agulhas is often battered by storms that endanger ships and make the coast a feared 'graveyard of ships'. This photograph captures the untamed power of nature at a place where human and sea collide in a striking manner.
