What places did Magellan explore?

Answer 1

Ferdinand Magellan almost made it all the way around the world, and is credited with being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean, which he named. The Straits of Magellan, just south of Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, are named for him. While he was in that vicinity, he and his crew spotted a new bird, thought at first to be a different type of goose that had to be skinned, rather than plucked - it was a penguin- now named the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) in his honor.

Ferdinand Magellan is credited as making the first successful circumnavigation of the world.

Actually, Magellan himself did not complete the sail around the world. He started in Spain, but was killed in what is now the Philippines before the voyage was completed.

Nevertheless, Magellan had sailed east of the Philippines on an earlier voyage, so he was one of the first two individuals to have traveled all the way around the earth.

The other individual was Magellan's indentured servant, Enrique, a native of Malacca. There is some dispute as to whether Magellan or Enrique was actually the first to sail around the world. The exact place of Enrique's birth is not known with certainty, nor is the exact time at which he returned to his place of birth. (He departed from Magellan's fleet during a battle, which he may have incited himself, and so there was no communication between Enrique and the survivors of Magellan's fleet after his departure.)

Answer 2

Magellan landed at several locations during his voyage to circumnavigate the globe. A few of them include:

The Canry Islands,

Cape Verde,

Rio de Janeiro,

The east coast of South America,

Rio de la Plata

Puerto San Julian (Argentina)

Cape Virgenes

The Strait of Magellan (formerly called "All Saints' Channel")

Magellan was also the first to call the Pacific Ocean the "Mar Pacifico" because of how apparently still the waters were at the time.

Answer 3

Ferdinand Magellan, born in Portugal in 1480, was the first to sail from Europe westwards to Asia, and the first European to sail the Pacific Ocean.

In 1519, he sailed from Spain with the intention of reaching the Spice Islands by sailing west around South America. Magellan then reached the Pacific Ocean, sailing across it. He did not complete his final voyage as he was killed during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines, on 27 April 1521.

Magellan did not complete the entire circumnavigation, but as the leader of the expedition, he is credited with being the man who led the first successful attempt to circumnavigate the Earth. He died further west than the Spice Islands, which he had visited on earlier voyages, making him one of the first individuals to cross all the longitudes of the globe.

Answer 4

Ferdinand Magellan explored various places such as the Philippines, Mactan and Guam. He was eventually killed on April 27, 1521 by Mactan natives.

Answer 5

Magellan went to the Philippines, Africa, South America, he also discovered the Magellan straits.
