Ferdinand Magellan is credited with leading the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe, which began in 1519 and concluded in 1522. Although Magellan himself did not complete the journey, as he was killed in the Philippines, his expedition provided strong evidence that the Earth is a sphere. The voyage demonstrated the vastness of the planet and the interconnectedness of its oceans. Ultimately, the expedition's successful return to Spain confirmed that the Earth could be circumnavigated.
