Excerpt from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cape Point is the site of one of the Global Atmosphere Watch's atmospheric research stations. In the early years of the 20th century icebergs from Antarctica were occasional spied from Cape Point. Whether there have been any authentic recent sightings of ice in this age of global warming is difficult to establish.
