Page "History of the Falkland Islands" Paragraph 7

An archipelago in the region of the Falkland Islands appeared on Portuguese maps from the early 16th century.

However, it is unlikely that they were sighted by Ferdinand Magellan or Estêvão Gomes of the San Antonio, one of the captains in the expedition of Magellan.

None of the chroniclers aboard mentions any such discovery.

All say that the San Antonio returned to Spain up the coast of South America, and there is no positive evidence to support the discovery of the Falklands.
