Magellan was the first explorer to organize an expedition which successfully circumnavigated the Earth. Despite existing mathematics and science that stated the Earth was round, Magellan's expedition conclusively proved this fact by traveling around it themselves. (Magellan himself did not survive the entire journey, as he was killed in a battle against Filipino natives on April 27, 1521).
