Abstract: This text examines claims that Quirós may have reached Pohnpei (Ponape) during his explorations. It weighs evidence from navigational descriptions and distances against modern geographic knowledge. The analysis highlights uncertainties in early cartography and how ambiguous reports of islands complicated Spain’s understanding of the Caroline Islands.
