Cape Verde is a group of arid Atlantic islands which are home to a number of birds and reptiles and constitute a unique ecoregion in the World Wildlife Fund classification.

The Cape Verde Islands are located in the mid-Atlantic Ocean some off the west coast of Africa.

Cape Verde shares maritime boundaries with Mauritania and Senegal.

Cape Verde has signed treaties with Senegal and Mauritania delimiting the specific boundaries.

The ocean near Cape Verde is an area of tropical cyclone formation ; since these storms have the whole Atlantic over which to develop as they move westward, they are among the most intense hurricanes, and are called Cape Verde-type hurricanes.

The Cape Verde islands are a very degradated area.

Due to its proximity to the Sahara, most of the Cape Verde islands are dry, but on islands with high mountains and farther away from the coast, by orography, the humidity is much higher, giving a rainforest habitat, very degraded by the strong human presence.

The current north of the Canaries, has a cooling effect on the islands of Cape Verde, making the air temperature more bearable than it would expect in any case at this latitude.

Hurricanes often begin their training in the waters around the islands of Cape Verde, but it is rare that the strength of the storm reaches close to the islands.

A Cape Verde type Hurricane is formed in the area south of the islands, near Sao Miguel, after a tropical wave on the African continent during the rainy season.

Cape Verde is the driest archipelago of the ecoregion of Macaronesia.

Vagrants could be found as far south as Gambia and the Cape Verde islands, and as far north as continental Portugal and Atlantic France.

Cadamosto and his companions are credited with the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands and the points along the Guinea coast, from the Gambia River to the Geba River ( in Guinea-Bissau ), the greatest leap in the Henrican discoveries since 1446.

The 1447 expedition led by Estêvão Afonso did not go beyond the beginning of the estuary of the Gambia River, and thereafter expeditions below Cape Vert were largely suspended by Prince Henry.

Once they opened the Gambia River, Cadamosto and Usodimare led the next great leap of Henrican discoveries in Africa-Cape Verde islands, the Casamance River, Cape Roxo, Cacheu River and finally the Geba River and Bissagos Islands.

However, modern historians, drawing from larger evidence ( including the accounts of Diogo Gomes and Cadamosto ), have generally dismissed this claim and now generally agree that Nuno Tristão only reached as far as the Sine-Saloum delta, still in Senegal, just a few miles south of Cape of Masts ( Cape Naze ) or, at their most generous, the Gambia River.

He participated in the epic cruise of the Royalist fleet of 1649 – 1652 to Kinsale, the Mediterranean, West Africa ( where, between the Gambia and Cape Verde, he was temporarily captured by the natives ), and the West Indies.
