Answer: Ferdinand Magellan
Step-by-step explanation:
Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) led a fleet of five ships to find a western seaway to the Spice Islands.
He found what became known as the Strait of Magellan, he was the first European to traverse the Pacific Ocean, and his expedition became the first European one to circumnavigate the globe. Magellan, like many other of his crew members, died in that journey, but his expedition showed that the globe could be circled by sea.
