Although today there are very few places on Earth above sea level that aren't explored (it has been said that we know more about the moon than we do the bottom of the ocean), there are still a few places like Papua New Guinea that have been notoriously impossible to map and settle.

Of course, you'll probably notice that the history of exploration is more or less the history of western civilization. It's not that people don't live in Papua New Guinea or know anything about its geography and terrain, it's just that those people aren't really connected to the rest of the world. So, whether you call it colonialism or discovery, here are the stories behind 25 epic expeditions and the explorers that made them.
