Though he did not complete this voyage, Magellan is considered the first person to circumnavigate the globe because earlier in his career he had sailed an eastern route from Portugal to Southeast Asia, the same region he had reached on his last, fatal voyage by sailing west. It took until September of 1522 for the remains of the expedition, 17 survivors under the command of Juan SebastiГЎn de Elcano, to reach Spain. The Magellan Route is the way traced by the nautical expedition made by the first world circumnavegation in the. It is a universal and global road because its itinerary is developed throughout the main oceans and all the continents in both planet hemispheres.

The Magellan Route is the trail of the First Voyage Around the World. He grew angry at one chief who refused to cooperate, however, and ordered an attack on his village. Magellan spent more than a month in the area, trading with local leaders and trying to convert them to Christianity. Fortified by provisions secured at island stops along the way, the ships reached the Philippines in March 1521. Reaching calm waters after a dangerous passage, Magellan named the ocean west of South America вЂњthe Pacific Ocean.вЂќДЄs the ships continued sailing west, supplies dwindled, the crew was forced to eat leather and drink a mixture of salt and freshwater, and men began dying of scurvy. Magellan survived two mutinies before sailing around the southern tip of South America, finding the strait named for him, in November of 1520. Magellan sought a western route - avoiding the southern tip of Africa, which Portugal controlled - to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) of Southeast Asia. The expedition of five ships and 250 men had left Spain on September 20, 1519. Magellan is a large man, about three times the height of a normal human. He is the main antagonist during the Impel Down Arc. He was formerly the chief warden, but after his failure to stop the jails one and only mass-breakout, he was replaced by Hannyabal and demoted to vice warden. Magellan and his expedition were the first Europeans to reach the Philippines, a stop on the first circumnavigation of the globe, though MagellanвЂ™s portion of that journey would soon end. Magellan is the vice warden of Impel Down. On March 16, 1521, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, attempting to sail around the world for Spain, reached the Philippine archipelago.
