Yum Burnu

Yum Burnu (Turkish 'Cape of Good Hope'), the ancient Ancyræan Cape or Ancyræan Promontory and the modern Greek Cape Psomion, is the cape at the northeast end of the Bosphorus, where it enters the Black Sea.

It is a bold headland descending almost perpendicularly into the water.[1]

Just below it is a reef which is often identified as the Asian side of the mythical Symplegades.

gollark: "God" implies a sentient being with agency or something, generally.
gollark: The trouble with "god is X"-type arguments is that they effectively just work by shifting definitions around a bit and imply some extra things about god/X you aren't proving.
