The North Atlantic Telegraph - Cape Farewell, South Greenland, 1860. Cape Farewell is situated at the south-western end of Greenland. Shallenhook is the south-eastern end, and is the most southern part of Greenland. The Cape is composed of high mountain ranges. Deep fiords penetrate it with sides several hundred feet high, and almost perpendicular. The rocks resemble spires or minarets. They look very bleak, and are calculated to frighten the observer and give a sad thought for all Greenland. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
