Ferdinand Magellan's expedition set sail from Spain on September 20, 1519, and reached the Strait of Magellan in late October 1520. The journey took approximately 13 months, as the crew faced numerous challenges, including rough seas and conflicts with indigenous peoples. The expedition ultimately became the first to circumnavigate the globe, but only a fraction of the original crew survived the entire voyage.
