"Little was known about the geography beyond South America at that time, and Magellan optimistically estimated that the trip across the Pacific would be rapid. " " He first made a trip from Europe to the Spice Islands, eastward via the Indian Ocean, " "En route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean.
