What explorers traveled farthest west?

The explorers who traveled farthest west were likely the Spanish explorers, such as Ferdinand Magellan, who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. Magellan's journey took him across the Pacific Ocean, reaching the Philippines before his death.
