virgin territories
Never before entered
Virgin territories are lands that remain unexplored, unsettled, or unexploited—places untouched by human development or outside influence.
The phrase extends figuratively to any field of endeavor not yet investigated: Quantum computing was virgin territory in the 1980s.
The "virgin" suggests pristine potential awaiting first contact.
