Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. He set out from Spain in 1519 with five ships and reached the Philippines in 1521, where he was killed in a battle. His expedition continued, completing the voyage under the leadership of Juan Sebastián Elcano in 1522, proving the Earth was round.
