Balboa: First European to Spot the Pacific from the Americas
On September 25, 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa became the first European to sight the Pacific Ocean from the shores of the Americas. Leading an expedition across the Isthmus of Panama, he climbed a peak and saw the vast body of water, which he called the "South Sea." This pivotal discovery opened new routes for exploration and significantly impacted the understanding of world geography, confirming the existence of a major ocean west of the New World.
