He was the first person to circumnavigate the world and found a hidden strait where you could sail to Asia. Technically, he didn't circumnavigate the world, because he died on Mactan Island on April 27, 1521. Juan Sebastian del Cano (Elcano) took over and they sailed to Asia and collected valuable spices. Than they sailed back to Spain and made it back with only about 20 survivors.
