Cape Horn is the southernmost tip of the South American continent. It is here that the Pacific Ocean is divided from the Atlantic Ocean and here that countless sailors and sailing vessels have foundered and gone under in attempts to round the horn.
Weather in the southern ocean can vary between dead calm and raging storm, making the actual passage from one ocean basin to the other highly problematical. "Rounding the Horn" is a milestone of any ocean voyage, and today the Caledonian Star not only rounded the horn but made a landing ashore nearby.
