The Marshall Islands stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. The Marshall Islands’s is Mythic: a living finish taken from the place itself, the finish for places with fewer than 50,000 visitors a year. With 6,100 international arrivals in 2019, the Marshall Islands is rarer than 100% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to the Marshall Islands
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts the Marshall Islands when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Places in the Marshall Islands you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in the Marshall Islands, from 1 World Heritage Site.

Events in the Marshall Islands
Total solar eclipses over the Marshall Islands that the app knows: 22 July 2009. A photo inside the path of totality that day ticks “Watch a total eclipse”.
Airports
The Marshall Islands has 16 airports with scheduled flights, 1 of them large. Each is a dot on Globestamp’s airports layer, and every flight you log adds to how far you’ve flown (try the flight distance calculator).
2 regions to fill in
Globestamp goes deeper than countries: its regions layer splits the Marshall Islands into 2 regions (Natural Earth’s first-level divisions), and each one fills in when a photo was taken there.
