Ferdinand Magellan was a Portugese sailor who led the first successful expedition to sail around the world. While other explorers were looking for water routes through North and South America, Magellan led his team south around the tip of South America. Magellan was killed in a battle with natives in the Phillipines, but one of
his five ships eventually made it back to Spain.
Here's a fun video about Magellan:
