Who led the second circumnavigation of the glob?

The second circumnavigation of the globe was led by the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastián Elcano. After Ferdinand Magellan's death in the Philippines in 1521, Elcano took command of the remaining crew on the ship Victoria and successfully completed the journey back to Spain in 1522. This expedition proved that it was possible to sail around the world, significantly contributing to European understanding of global geography.
