Ferdinand Magellan
His expedition crossed the Isthmus of Panama and reached the Pacific Ocean in 1513. He named it Mar del Sur (literally, "Sea of the South" or "South Sea"). Later, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailed the Pacific on a Spanish expedition of world circumnavigation from 1519 to 1522.
