“This land [of South America] is very pleasing, full of an infinite number of very tall trees which never lose their leaves and

throughout the year are fragrant with the sweetest aromas and yield an endless supply of fruits, many of which are good to taste and conducive to bodily health. The fields produce many herbs and flowers and most delicious and wholesome roots that I fancied myself near the Terrestrial Paradise. What shall we say of the multitude of birds and their plumes and colours and singing and their numbers and their beauty? I am unwilling to enlarge upon this description, because I doubt if I would be believed. . . . We saw so many . . . animals that I believe so many species could not have entered Noah’s ark. We saw many wild hogs, wild goats, stags and does, hares, and rabbits, but of domestic animals, not one.”
—Amerigo Vespucci,

shusha [124]

Answer:

He planned to sail down the eastern coast of South America to see if he could find a passage to a western ocean that would allow him to reach Asia.

His 38-day voyage in the storms of the channel, now called the Strait of Magellan — at South America's southern tip — led him to what he named the Pacific, for its calm.

"It was the single greatest feat in the history of maritime exploration," Vejas Liulevicius, author of the Great Courses' audiovisual program "History's Greatest Voyages of Exploration," told IBD. "Only one of the vessels returned to Spain three years later and 70% of the crew died, including Magellan, but it's a miracle anyone survived.
