Ferdinand Magellan was important to the Age of Exploration because he wanted to circumnavigate the world. Though he was killed in the Philippine Islands during a local war, his crew, then under the leadership of Juan Sebastián del Cano, continued to go to the "Spice Islands" and then went home.
The first person to circumnavigate the earth was Magellan's Basque navigator Juan Sebastián Elcano, Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines and did not complete the voyage. Elcano took command and completed the voyage Magellan began. In fact, Magellan had travelled eastwards to the Malay Peninsula on an earlier voyage, so he became the first explorer to cross all of the meridians of the globe.
He was a Portuguese explorer. Often he is credited with being the first person to circumnavigate the world. This is incorrect since he was killed in the Philippines. 18 of the 237 crew on board his ships were the actual first recorded circumnavigators.
