However, some members of his crew, led by Juan Sebastián Elcano, completed the journey and returned to Spain in 1522 aboard the Victoria. This expedition became the first to circumnavigate the Earth, providing invaluable knowledge about global geography and navigation. Their successful return marked a significant milestone in maritime exploration.
