Is there anything wrong with this sentence, a dictionary definition again, or is it just me feeling it?

uncharted waters/territory/terrain: a situation or activity that no one else has never experienced it before.

The definition either has one word (it) too many or one word (such, between activity and that) too few.

They are not serious at all, whoever they are.

In addition to Ron's suggestions, I believe the word "never" should be "ever."   Also, what is the word this defines?

Oh! Probably that extra 'it' is my own mistake. I didn't notice it.

But what I was looking for was changing 'never' into 'ever'. So, I was right.

Well, it doesn't actually define a word. Just explains the idiom.

Thank you all!
