In this episode, we dive into the rich history of human ocean exploration, tracing its roots back to the late 15th century with iconic figures like Christopher Columbus. From his groundbreaking 1492 voyage that ignited transatlantic navigation to the epic journey of Ferdinand Magellan, who became the first to circumnavigate the globe, we explore how these brave explorers reshaped our understanding of the seas. While documented adventures began around 500 years ago, the human connection to the ocean stretches back even further. Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey of discovering our vast oceans and how it all began during the Age of Discovery. Visit PodSights.ai to create your own podcast on any topic.
