How was Ferdinand Magellan able to find the Pacific Ocean?

5 answers

Ferdinand Magellan and his crew found the Pacific Ocean by crossing the tip of South America, which would later become known as the Strait of Magellan. The journey was treacherous and took months to complete, but eventually, they reached the Pacific Ocean which Magellan first named the "peaceful sea" because of its calmness compared to the rough waters they had encountered in the Atlantic.
they went through south america
Yes, that's correct. Magellan and his crew went through South America, at the southern tip of the continent, and discovered the narrow waterway that would later be called the Strait of Magellan. They sailed through the strait, which is about 600 kilometers long, and emerged in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. This was a significant achievement as it was the first time that a European expedition had successfully navigated a route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, opening up a new trade route to Asia.
