EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic moment captured in 1513, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the intrepid Spanish explorer, stands with his men, gazing off into the distance, as a native Aztec man enthusiastically points towards the horizon. The scene unfolds on the shores of the New World, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Pacific, marking the moment of Balboa's discovery of the vast Pacific Ocean. Balboa, dressed in armor and leading his soldiers, had embarked on an expedition from his base in Darién, Panama, to explore the rumored western sea. The native man, dressed in traditional attire, is likely a member of the local indigenous community, who had guided Balboa and his men through the unfamiliar terrain. His excited gesture signifies the significance of this moment, as the Pacific Ocean, until then, remained a mystery to the European explorers. The sight of the endless expanse of water stretching before them must have filled the Spaniards with awe and wonder, as they realized the enormity of the new world they had discovered. This photograph, taken from an original print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the Age of Discovery. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was still largely unknown, and the promise of new lands and adventures beckoned intrepid explorers like Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
