Beyond the Wall

Forest, tundra and ice the size of Canada.

Beyond the Wall are the lands north of the Wall, first reached in A Clash of Kings. Martin has said the first five books do not really explore what lies far north, and that the last two will.

Quick Facts

First visited in: A Clash of Kings
Filmed in: Iceland

Lore & Background

Martin described the region as much larger than Iceland, with dense forest nearest the Wall, more like Canada's Hudson Bay or the forests north of Michigan, giving way to tundra and ice fields further north.

Reader's Guide

The television series filmed its scenes north of the Wall in Iceland, including on the Vatnajokull glacier for season 2.
