Located at the southern tip of Argentina are the Straits of Magellan. Named after the Portuguese explorer who attempted to circumnavigate the earth. He had to travel that far south in order to get to the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean. While Magellan died in the Philippines, his remaining crew did make it back to Portugal.
