Magellan's crew discovered the need for an international date line during their circumnavigation of the globe. Upon completing their voyage, they found that they had lost a day due to crossing the International Date Line, which was not yet established. They had set their calendars based on their departure point but, after traveling westward, realized they had effectively advanced their time by one day. This experience highlighted the necessity of a standardized method to account for time zones and the division of days across the globe.
