I can't say I knew all of these before I made the quiz. That's why I made the quiz. To learn them.
Many of these capes represent an extreme point for their continent.
The dot for Russia should be all the way at the tip of the peninsula.
However, it is the westernmost point in mainland Africa, so it IS the closest mainland to Cape Verde! Cape Verde (Senegal) is also called 'Cap-Vert' and is the location of the capital Dakar.
Um, I was looking on my map for this (May or may not have been cheating) and the one on Somalia is spelt with a “y” at the end instead of an “I”, so could you add Cape “Gwardafuy” as a type-in?
