CAPE CROSS SEAL RESERVE:
Cape Cross Seal Reserve
The reserve and its surrounding area was proclaimed a reserve
in 1968 to protect the largest and most well known of the
23 Cape Fur Seal colonies that breed along the coast of Southern
Africa. It is also the area where the Portuguese navigator
Diego Cao erected a stone cross in 1486, commemorating the
first European to ever set foot on Namibian ground.
