Bartholomew Dias is the correct answer. He discovered the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. The Cape of Good Hope is located at the southern tip of Africa and was a significant discovery during the Age of Exploration. It became an important landmark and trading route for European sailors traveling from Europe to Asia. Magellan, Columbus, and Vasco da Gama were also prominent explorers during this time period, but they are not credited with discovering the Cape of Good Hope. Alert - correct answer should be Vasco da Gama. Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama is credited with being the first person to successfully navigate a sea route from Europe to India in 1498.
