The true Pacific Ocean was discovered by the Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520 during his circumnavigation of the globe. He named it "Mar Pacífico," meaning "peaceful sea," due to its calm waters compared to the rough seas he encountered before. Magellan's expedition provided the first European glimpse of this vast ocean, which is the largest and deepest body of water on Earth.
