Ferdinand Magellan is best known for leading the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. His voyage, which took place from 1519 to 1522, provided significant insights into global geography and demonstrated the vastness of the Earth’s oceans. Although Magellan himself did not complete the journey (he was killed in the Philippines), his expedition ultimately achieved the first successful navigation around the world.
