📖 Story – Ferdinand Magellan

Ferdinand Magellan (1480–1521) was a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe, forever changing humanity’s understanding of the world.

In 1519, under the Spanish flag, Magellan set sail with five ships in search of a western route to Asia. His journey led to the discovery of the Strait of Magellan and the crossing of the vast ocean he named the Pacific.

Although Magellan himself did not complete the voyage, his expedition returned to Spain in 1522, proving conclusively that the Earth is round and marking one of the greatest achievements in exploration history.
