Pacific Ocean, the, forms the w. boundary of the United States, and therefore deserves a passing notice in this work. It lies between Asia and America, having a breadth of over 10,000 miles. It was first navigated by Magellan, who entered it through the dangerous strait which bears his name; and, after entering it, in sailing for 3 months and 20 days without seeing land, until he arrived at the Ladrone Islands, enjoying an uninterrupted course of fine weather, he named it the Pacific Ocean, though it is not less exposed to storms, in many parts, than the Atlantic. From its apparent situation, on its first discovery, from the Isthmus of Darien, it obtained the name of the Great South Sea, but this name is now obsolete. It is generally divided into the n. and s. Pacific, the equator being the dividing line between them.
