The explorations of Amerigo Vespucci, Vasco Núñez de Balboa, and Ferdinand Magellan significantly expanded European understanding of the New World and the world's geography. Vespucci's voyages helped distinguish the Americas as separate continents, leading to their naming after him. Balboa was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas, establishing a crucial link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Magellan's expedition achieved the first circumnavigation of the Earth, demonstrating the vastness of the globe and providing valuable information about global trade routes.
