Bartholomew Diaz, a Portuguese explorer, is best known for his expedition to the southern tip of Africa in 1488, where he became the first European to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. This voyage opened the sea route to Asia and laid the groundwork for future explorations by other navigators, including Vasco da Gama. Diaz's journey was significant in expanding European knowledge of the African coast and the potential for trade with the East.
