The first explorer to lead a voyage that completely circumnavigated the globe was Ferdinand Magellan. His expedition set sail from Spain in 1519, and although Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines in 1521, his fleet continued under the command of Juan Sebastián Elcano. The journey was completed in 1522 when the remaining ship, the Victoria, returned to Spain, making it the first successful circumnavigation of the Earth.
In 1522 the last ship of the voyage of Magellan arrived back in Spain, they were the first to sail around the world.
