a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area
a determined explorer wearing frontier clothing plants a wooden stake into virgin soil while holding a rolled map. The explorer points ahead toward unexplored land as their compass gleams in the sunlight. Behind the explorer, a small group of settlers unloads supplies from covered wagons onto the untouched ground. The untamed wilderness stretches endlessly around them with no signs of previous human settlement. Other members of the expedition look forward with hope and determination toward their new frontier home. a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area
