Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who in 1519 set sail to find a route to the Spice Islands. While on the expedition, Magellan discovered the Strait of Magellan and was the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean.
On October 21, he finally discovered the strait he had been seeking. The Strait of Magellan, as it became known, is located near the tip of South America, separating Tierra del Fuego and the continental mainland. :)

His was the first expedition to travel around the world, although he died en-route. (The trip was finished after his death in Guam, in 1522. ) He sailed around the tip of A South America, and found a westward passage, which was named after him the 'Strait of Magellan'.
