The irony of Balboa's first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean lies in the fact that he had spent years seeking wealth and glory in the New World, only to discover a vast ocean that separated him from the riches of Asia he hoped to find. Instead of being a gateway to treasures, the Pacific represented an insurmountable barrier. Additionally, Balboa was initially celebrated for his discovery, yet he would later face execution for political reasons, highlighting the precariousness of his achievements amid the vastness of the ocean he uncovered.
