Navigating treacherous seas and battling fierce storms, Magellan's fleet of five ships became the first to traverse the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Though Magellan himself met his end in the Philippines in 1521, his expedition pressed on. In 1522, the last remaining ship, the Victoria, completed the first-ever circumnavigation of the globe, proving the world was round and interconnected. Magellan's voyage stands as a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of discovery.
