Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to successfully circumnavigate the globe from 1519 to 1522. Although he did not survive the entire journey, his expedition provided strong evidence supporting Columbus' theory regarding the world's size and the feasibility of reaching Asia by sailing west. The voyage ultimately demonstrated that the Earth is round and significantly expanded European knowledge of global geography.
