Ferdinand Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the world. Though he died in a battle in the Phillipines, Magellan proved that the world was round and NOT flat which was the popular belief of the time. He also discovered the Strait of Magellan which is located near the southern tip of South America. This strait allowed traders to easily sail to Asia from Europe.
