What did you explore? Nothing, it's all documented, explored, exploited. Hell, it's a tourist attraction.

What I did would be best classified as adventure travel.

The two people I was talking about in the quote you took out of context, however, were serious explorers and mountaineers. One had a few dozen first ascents under his belt, and the other had summited Everest 19 times.
