The Nauru stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Nauru’s is Mythic: a living finish taken from the place itself, the finish for places with fewer than 50,000 visitors a year. UN Tourism has no figure for Nauru, so its finish is placed by hand from what is known of its visitors. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Nauru
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 Nauru when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. With a single airport with scheduled flights (Nauru International Airport, INU), photos only at the airport make a transit stamp, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Airports
Nauru has 1 airport with scheduled flights. 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).
14 regions to fill in
Globestamp goes deeper than countries: its regions layer splits Nauru into 14 regions (Natural Earth’s first-level divisions), and each one fills in when a photo was taken there.
