Traveling in a full circle around the Earth is called circumnavigation. This term refers to the act of traveling all the way around a planet, typically by sea or air. Famous examples of circumnavigation include Magellan's expedition in the 16th century and the first solo non-stop circumnavigation by Joshua Slocum in 1898.
