The explorer's name was Vasco Núñez de Balboa. He was the first person to reach and see the Pacific Ocean in 1513. Many believe he was the one who named it, but he did not. It was an explorer after him in 1520, named Ferdinand Magellan.
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.
