The term 'circumnavigator' refers to a person who has traveled around the world. This feat has been accomplished by many famous people, including Sir Francis Drake, who completed the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1580; Nellie Bly, who was the first woman to circumnavigate the world in 1889; and Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led an expedition to circumnavigate Antarctica in 1914-1917. The most famous circumnavigator is probably Sir Henry Morton Stanley, who famously found Dr. Livingstone in Africa in 1871 and later circumnavigated the continent in 1874-1877. Finally, another famous circumnavigator is Phileas Fogg, the protagonist of Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days.
