Descripción

En 1486, l'explorateur portugais Diego Cao, premier européen à fouler le sol de la Namibie, dresse une croix en hommage au roi Jean 1er du Portugal. D'où le nom de Cap Cross.

Aujourd'hui,  Cap Cross est réputée pour sa colonie d'otaries à fourrure. Leur nombre fluctue de 80 000 à 100 000 individus en fonction de la saison.

L'importante colonie du Cap Cross profite pleinement des riches apports en poisson du courant froid de Benguela.
