The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world. It borders Asia and Australia to the west, and North and South America to the east.
The map in Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex showed that there were at least three Pieces of Eden in the Pacific, including one near Mexico and another on Easter Island.[1]
The Pacific was mentioned by Sofia Sartor and Ezio Auditore while they inspected Martin Waldseemüller's map of the world in 1511. At the time, its existence was still unknown to most Europeans, but Ezio correctly surmised it to be a new ocean.[2]
During the 18th century, the British captain James Cook crossed the Pacific several times, exploring and charting most of its islands and native peoples.[3]
The Pacific was affected by the solar flare that struck the Earth on 21 December 2012, leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes in the Ring of Fire. However, these died down quickly, as Desmond Miles activated the Isu machine known as the global aurora borealis device to shield the planet from the solar flare's effects.[4]
