According to ExplorersWeb (www.ExplorersWeb.com) it's difficult to choose the best, as they all contributed in their own way, sharing their story - their very soul in fact - with ExplorersWeb and the world.

By their performance, these expeditions have proved themselves outstanding in all or most of the following:
