    Map In Remembrance of Le Guin: Gethen

    After hearing of Le Guin's passing I remembered a map I drew up a few years back for a Science Fiction professor I had. The Left Hand of Darkness is my favorite novel of hers and I enjoyed the physical descriptions and environments that exist on the planet Gethen.

    This map is mechanical pencil on sketch paper (medium surface/heavy weight).

    I spent some time researching other versions of Gethen maps. Some were political, geographical, or zoomed in on specific locations in the novel. The few that were world maps, specifically Milan Dubnicky's from 2009, were great and gave me some good ideas of how to create the map (check here: http://www.ursulakleguin.com/LHoD-GethenMap-Czech.html and here: http://www.ursulakleguin.com/Index-Maps.html).
