Laurence Bergreen writes that Ferdinand Magellan’s 16th circumnavigation of the globe “was a dream as old as the imagination: a voyage to the ends of the earth...Mariners feared they could literally sail over the edge of the world." Bergreen’s recent book is Over the Edge of the World.

Music: Master and Commander soundtrack by Iva Davies, Christopher Gordon, and Richard Tognetti
