Circumnavigation refers to the act of traveling all the way around an entire object, typically the Earth, by following a path that encircles it. This can be achieved by various means of transportation, such as sailing, flying, or driving. In historical contexts, circumnavigation is often associated with famous explorations, such as Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in the early 16th century, which was the first known voyage to successfully navigate around the globe.
