I can only imagine what it must of felt like for them on that last month after they reached Africa and knew they made it back after the uncertainty of being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

In Spain it is more properly called Magallanes (1)-Elcano (2) expedition, because Elcano was who completed it. As he simply stated in his letter to Emperor Carlos: “Your Majesty, we have discovered and circumnavigated the entire globe, going westward and returning eastward.”

So Elcano’s expedition might be a better name. Magellan died halfway through.

Magellan unfortunately did not make it, I have been to Mactan Island where he was killed.

Magellan….The best biography ever written of that most amazing captain, who sadly died at the hands of Lapu-lapu, was Ricardo Majo Framis. If you read it, trust me, it will turn your mind into a ship and that ship into a dream.

Today I went to a LEGO store with my children and I had to buy Jack Sparrow's LEGO pirate ship because the brand didn't want to make Magalhães and Elkano's Nao Victoria. Of the 270 crew members who set out from Seville, only 18 returned. Primus Circumdedisti Me (1519-1522).

An incredible story of courage and discovery! 🌍⛵ Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition (1519–1522) became the first to circumnavigate the globe, proving the Earth’s roundness through experience, not theory. Though Magellan himself didn’t survive the journey, his crew completed it—changing our understanding of the world forever. 🌏✨

Sería mas correcto referirse como la expedición de Juan Sebastián Elcano, puesto que fué él quién completó la primera vuelta al mundo, Magallanes murió a medio camino.

Elcano’s. Magellan died mid-way.

It's a wild coincidence that Magellan was the one to discover the Strait of Magellan, rather than maybe Columbus or Ponce de Leon or something.

How brave where te sailors at that time. That was an epic adventure. Elcano could have come back the way he arrived to Indonesia but he knew he could do something really big. Become the first man to circumnavigate the world.

If not for this voyage, Cliff never would have been able to call Norm "Ferdinand Majellybelly."

Semejante a intentar atravesar un agujero negro en el futuro. Un viaje a lo desconcido y probablemente a la muerte.

The video shows the Magellan-Elcano expedition. The last very long trip, including legs that had never been documented, probably never travelled intentionally, was done with Elcano in charge (Magellan died in the Far East)

“Discovered the Straight of Magellan” Well, that’s convenient…

Replying to @Rainmaker1973
You mean Elcano

Magellan no. Elcano.

I’m sure Americans will remember this expedition as Portuguese, as they do with the “Italian” Columbus day . 😩

Elcano expedition. He didnt make it through

Replying to @Rainmaker1973
He is the greatest navigator of this entire period, he has been forgotten because the Portuguese considered him a traitor, and it was because of the Portuguese king that he went to Spain to ask for funding because the Portuguese king did not want to.

Magellan dies half way trough in the Philippines, Elcano finishes the trip (...and embarks in many adventures afterwards) and gets 0 credit. 🥱

Forgot to mention their stop in Cape Verde 🇨🇻 before returning to Europe… Upon arriving in Cape Verde, they realized that their dates were off by one day, because after travelling west for a year they had experienced one less day than the landlubbers

Sebastián Elcano is fairly one of the greatest sailor in world history, equal or over Magallanes e and he hasn’t been recognized as such
