Ferdinand Magellan's biggest adversity he faced personally was the fact three of the captains on his voyage were plotting to murder him. His entire crew faced a flurry of electrical storms as they approached the equator.

When they were sailing across the pacific the men started to get scurvy and there food and water ran out. The only land they saw were two uninhabited islands.

The remaining ship, the Victoria, sails on to Portugal.
