Europeans primarily discovered the Atlantic Ocean during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries. This period saw explorers like Christopher Columbus and John Cabot navigating across the Atlantic, leading to the European awareness of the Americas. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean was later encountered by explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to circumnavigate the globe. These discoveries greatly expanded European knowledge of global geography and trade routes.
