Most active countries

The following table shows countries by their number of reached and total expeditions as of 2023-11.

Methodology and Limitations

For the purpose of this list, a country is defined as anything that has a ISO 3166-1 code.

This page is generated by looking where location templates are transcluded, and at the expeditions category and the coordinates reached category. This page is only as good as those categories.

Check out the program's source code.
