Uncharted describes a place, or a situation, that nobody has explored or mapped before — you don't know what's out there. It's often used literally about land or ocean ('uncharted waters'), but even more often used figuratively about a new, unfamiliar experience, as in the common phrase 'uncharted territory', meaning a completely new situation nobody has been in before.
未知的、未經探勘的;(比喻)前所未有的
組成un- (not) + charted (mapped, from the noun 'chart', meaning a map, especially of the sea)
