Most active countries

The following table shows countries by their number of reached and total expeditions as of 2022-09.

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.
