The word "circumnavigate" means to proceed completely around, or, literally, to navigate the circumference. However, it is most commonly used in reference to completing a journey by any of various modes completely around the Earth. There is also a great deal of variance in exactly what constitutes a circumnavigation vis-à-vis the route taken. (for example, does one need merely to cross all the meridians, or must it be done at the equator?)
