Magellan went through the South Atlantic Ocean and down the Magellan Strait at the bottom of South America. It took Ferdinand Magellan months and months to reach the Pacific Ocean where he found the water was quiet and peaceful. His crew and boat were able to circumnavigate the world, unfortunately Magellan was killed in a battle in the Phillipines.
