Ferdinand Magellan is primarily known for his one significant expedition, which was the first to circumnavigate the globe. He embarked on this voyage in 1519 under the Spanish flag, seeking a westward route to the Spice Islands. Although he had previously participated in earlier expeditions to the East Indies, it was this final journey that defined his legacy. Magellan did not survive the entire expedition, as he was killed in the Philippines in 1521.
He proved that the world was round and larger than everyone thought it was.
Magellan expended more money on Sherry than on weapons. Sherry is a fortified wine that is better able to make a long journey.
It was proven that the world was round, not flat. It was also discovered that the world was a lot larger than anyone at the time thought.

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.
I hope somebody who knows this history better than I will jump in, but depending on how you define voyage Ferdinand Magellan was only on the one famous voyage. For several years before his famous voyage he served on ships and was in a couple of naval battles.
An expidition is like a quest. A journey. Or even a special trip. An expidition is also usually longer than a regular trip & can be a special trip.
It was proven that the world was round, not flat. It was also discovered that the world was a lot larger than anyone at the time thought.
