circumnavigate

But even so, their later descendants never stopped until they had circumnavigated the globe and discovered the last remote continent.
Mais, même ainsi, leurs descendants n’eurent pas de cesse avant d’avoir effectué la circumnavigation du globe et découvert le dernier des continents lointains.

On le sait depuis très longtemps et, avant même qu'on en fasse le tour, des géomètres grecs astucieux avaient trouvé le moyen d'en mesurer le périmètre, sans se tromper de beaucoup (voir par exemple cette page).
