why it took magellan 38 days to navigate the strait
It took 38 days to navigate the treacherous strait, and when ocean was sighted at the other end Magellan wept with joy.
The complexities of the navigation route, adverse weather conditions, strong currents, and uncharted waters could have all contributed to the length of time it took Magellan to navigate the strait. Additionally, the need to scout for safe passage and avoid hazardous obstacles may have prolonged the journey.
Willem Schouten took 13 days to sail through the strait that now bears his name, the Strait of Magellan. He was a Dutch navigator and explorer who, in 1616, sought a new route to the Pacific Ocean, ultimately leading to the discovery of the strait separating South America from Tierra del Fuego. His journey contributed significantly to maritime exploration in that era.
Magellan's ships entered the strait on November 1, 1520, but he was not the first to discover it. See Accounts Before Magellan
On October 21, 1519, he reached the tip of South America. It took him more than four weeks to go through what was later named the Strait of Magellan to the Pacific Ocean, which he named for its peaceful surface.
