The ones who go furthest.
Not a country checklist. Explorers ranked by exploration actually earned — first landfalls, land borders, ferry crossings, kilometers on the ground and time out there.

Each number can be explained.
No self-reporting, no mystery weightings. Every point comes from a published journey, and every explorer’s ledger is public — open any row above.
Reaching a new continent is the biggest single leap.
First visit only — going back never counts twice.
The Canaries as a whole, beyond any one island.
The Faroes, the High Atlas, Gilgit-Baltistan.
Every island set foot on, counted once.
Crossed on the ground — never through an airport.
Water crossings earned on deck.
Per surface mode mastered. Flying scores nothing.
1 pt per 100 km on the ground — thinning to 1 pt per 250 km beyond 10,000 km and 1 pt per 500 km beyond 50,000 km. Depth beats odometer padding.
1 pt per 2 days traveling, thinning to 1 pt per 5 days beyond 200. A high pass above 2,000 m adds a one-time altitude bonus of up to 30 pts.
The share of each country you actually saw, time spent per country, and capital-only visits detected — computed from your own confirmed journeys, never from anything private.
