The first person to circumnavigate the world was Magellan. He was killed in the Philippines, but his ships made it home to England.
He was killed on the beach on April 27th, 1521 on of the island of Mactan in the Philippines by the native inhabitants. He had landed there in an attempt to overcome the king there, Lapu-Lapu, at the request of the king on a neighbouring island he had befriended and converted to Christianity.
Ferdinand Magellan died on April 27, 1521 in Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines.
When Ferdinand Magellan was killed in the Philippines in 1521, the leadership of the expedition passed to Juan Sebastián Elcano. Elcano, who had been one of the captains under Magellan, took command of the remaining crew and ultimately led them back to Spain. He is credited with completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth after Magellan's death.
Santiago Magellan, the ship that was part of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition, was lost during the voyage in a storm in 1520. The shipwreck occurred in the strait that now bears Magellan's name, off the coast of South America. The expedition continued despite this loss, ultimately leading to the first circumnavigation of the Earth, though Magellan himself was killed in the Philippines in 1521.
