Vasco Nunez de Balboa is most notable for being the first European to explore the Pacific Ocean. The expedition was originally to find gold, which Balboa thought would please the King of Spain, but when the prospect of gold failed, Balboa instead claimed all the lands that the waters of the Pacific Ocean touched in the name of Spain.
