García Jofré de Loaysa
García Jofré de Loaysa was a Spanish explorer and the leader of the ill-fated expedition that attempted to circumnavigate the globe from 1525 to 1536, aiming to reach the Spice Islands. His journey, which began with a crew of 450 men, faced immense challenges including severe weather, shipwrecks, and encounters with native peoples, ultimately resulting in the survival of only a handful of crew members. Loaysa's leadership and the epic nature of the expedition have made him a significant figure in maritime history.
