If you are a fan of Game of Thrones, you are no doubt aware that George R.R. Martin's world is pretty damn huge. With such a diverse array of cultures and landscapes, we experience stories that take place in all manner of fabulous locations, ranging from the imposing Wall of Westeros, to the ancient, eastern city of Qarth. The books and series so far have shown us a large host of what the world has to offer in terms of memorable settings, but there are some places of particular note which despite having been mentioned off-hand or in maps, have never seen them for ourselves. I would consider it a crime if these places were never visited, but with two books to go (and the series to follow suit), there is ample opportunity for the following to be explored. (If you haven't read all of the current books, don't worry no spoilers here)
5. The Lands Of Always Winter
The Lands of Always Winter are the furthest (known) north places of Westeros. They lie beyond the Wall, beyond the Haunted Forest, beyond the Frostfangs and even beyond Thenn. As the maps of Westeros tell us, The Lands of Always Winter are actually unmapped. This provides evidence that no one in history has been able to successfully explore these lands, so we have no real idea of their geography or landscape. However, we do know that they will be inhumanly cold, and it's also said that the Others come from this region. Mr Martin has confirmed that these lands will be explored in the final two books. It will be intriguing to see how this is approached: how could anyone possibly survive such a climate? Also, we are doubtless going to be seeing more of the White Walkers, so with this in mind, let's assume that The Lands of Always Winter is a demonic realm full of demonic wintery things. Yet until we've properly had it described to us and eventually see it on screen, we'll all feel free to let our imaginations run wild.
