Vasco Núñez de Balboa proved Amerigo Vespucci's theory by crossing the Isthmus of Panama in 1513 and becoming the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World. His expedition demonstrated that the lands discovered by Columbus were part of a separate continent, rather than the eastern coast of Asia as Columbus had believed. This finding supported Vespucci's assertion that the Americas were distinct continents. Balboa's journey provided concrete evidence that there were vast lands previously unknown to Europeans.
