To find the answer to this question, we need to know about the voyages of both Magellan and Columbus.
Columbus is famous for his voyage in 1492, during which he sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Caribbean. This voyage is significant because it opened up a new era of European exploration and led to the discovery of the Americas.
Magellan, on the other hand, embarked on his voyage in 1519. Unlike Columbus, Magellan did not sail west across the Atlantic. Instead, he sailed south down the coast of South America. His goal was to find a western route to the Spice Islands (modern-day Indonesia). After reaching the southern tip of South America, now known as Cape Horn, Magellan and his crew entered the Pacific Ocean, becoming the first recorded Europeans to do so. They continued their journey across the Pacific, eventually reaching the Philippines. Although Magellan did not complete the entire journey himself (he was killed during a battle in the Philippines), his crew continued and became the first to circumnavigate the Earth.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Magellan sailed south down the coast of South America, which was different from Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic.
No. Too much ice in the far north.
