Explorers

Who was the first man to visit all the occupied continents?

Good question!

Francis Drake made a good attempt - started in Europe, touched Africa, then South America, then North America then Asia then Africa again on his way back to Europe. He didn't make it to Australia, however. Neither did Magellan's voyage and I don't know whether it fitted in North America either.
