An “expedition” is a journey or expedition undertaken by a group of people with specific goals or objectives in mind, usually exploration, research, or military conquest. Expeditions are typically characterized by their planned and organized nature, and often involve significant preparation and resources. Expeditions have played a significant role in shaping history, advancing scientific knowledge, and addressing global challenges.
