Ferdinand Magellan was the first explorer to circumnavigate the world. After departing Portugal, he sailed down the west coast of South America, south of the continent, then across to Southeast Asia. Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines, but one of his ships continued, crossing the Indian Ocean to Africa, sailing up the east coast to return to Portugal. Specific parts of the world where Magellan explored extensively include India and the Far East. He was also the one who named the Pacific Ocean.

The Strait of Magellan is important because at the time it was discovered, it was a far safer route to reaching the Pacific that trying to cross around Cape Horn.

Who is Ferinand Magellan?
Magellan, though Portuguese by birth, captained a Spanish fleet with the intention of reaching the Spice Islands (Maluku, Indonesia) by sailing west around South America. The expedition, from 1519-1522, became famous as the first to sail completely around the Earth. After Magellan was killed during a battle against natives in the Philippines (1521), the Basque captain Juan Sebastian Elcano took command and completed the voyage by sailing west around Africa. Only one ship out of the original five made it back to Spain, and only 18 of the 270 crew members (4 others survived and returned after capture by the Portuguese).

Where was Magellins expedition?
Ferdinand Magellan sailed in the service of Portugal. He visited ports throughout the Indian Ocean Basin and had traveled east as far as the spice islands of Maluku. He believed that the spice islands and Asian markets lay fairly close to the western coast of the Americas and therefore decided to pursue Christopher Columbus's goal of establishing a western route to Asian waters. On his Pacific expedition and circumnavigation of the world (1519-1522), Magellan sailed in the service of Spain. He sailed from Lisbon, Portugal through the Strait of Magellan in the southern tip of South America through the Pacific and through the Philippines as well. There, due to a local dispute, Magellan and 40 of his crew died. Of Magellan's 5 ships and 280 men, a single ship with 18 of the original crew returned to Europe. (Others died of scurvy throughout the trip.) His crew sailed through the Indian Ocean, around the continent tip of Africa, up to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! :)
