Ferdinand Magellan primarily traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, the Strait of Magellan, and the Pacific Ocean during his expedition from 1519 to 1522. He sailed from Spain into the Atlantic, navigated around South America through the Strait that now bears his name, and then crossed the vast Pacific Ocean, which he named. His journey was significant for being the first to circumnavigate the globe, despite his death in the Philippines before completing the voyage.
