  1. Magellan is widely credited with doing so, because, although he did not return alive to the Iberian peninsula, he did cross all the meridians.

    'Although Magellan did not complete the voyage, he is considered the first person to circle the world because Cebu is west of the Moluccas. Sailing west, he had reached a point beyond the point he had reached earlier when sailing east.'

    He died in the Phillipines, at the Battle of Cebu. His party kept making stops to convert natives to Christianity.


  2. his name was magellan

  3. Ferdinand Magellan
