Cape Verde is in the Atlantic Ocean 275km away from Senegal. The island country consists of 15 volcanic islands with the highest Mt. Fogo (2829m). Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands in 1460, and tried to produce sugar just like Madeira and Azores Islands, which turned out to be failure due to harsh climate.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
