    Ferdinand Magellan was killed during his time in the South Pacific.

    Explanation:

    In the Pacific Ocean, where he was looking for the Moluccas, Magellan and his people arrived on the island of Cebu, belonging to the archipelago that would later be known as "Philippines Islands" in honor of Philipp II of Spain. They had reached the Far East, fulfilling Christopher Columbus' project.

    Magellan perished on April 27, 1521 in the Battle of Mactan, fighting a Cebuan tribe headed by the tribal chief Lapulapu, on the Philippine island of Mactan.
