Having determined a (working rough) basis for the size of the planet, we need next to determine the size of Westeros itself, the continent on which most of the action in A Song of Ice and Fire takes place, and determine its location on the globe. We know it is in the northern hemisphere, but not how far it extends.

The original maps for A Game of Thrones did not include a scale bar, and many readers assumed that Westeros was somewhat small, maybe not much larger than Great Britain. This was backed up by the comparisons with English medieval history, particularly the Wars of the Roses. However, more attentive readers noted that the Wall was said to be 300 miles long and extrapolated from this that Westeros was considerably larger, a full-sized continent rather than an island or peninsula. This was backed up by the extensive travel times for King Robert’s party from King’s Landing to Winterfell and back again. Very rough calculations using the Wall as a scale bar suggested that Westeros measured in fact about 3,000 miles from the Wall to the south coast of Dorne.

Martin was wary of absolutely pinning down the size of Westeros and travel times, fearing that sharp-eyed readers would pick up on unintended mistakes and errors in the text and complain about them. He decided to be vague, stating that the map of Westeros was not to scale and the Wall could not be used as a scale bar. He also said that his intention had been for Westeros to be about “the size of South America” and the continent to the east to be even larger, around the size of “Eurasia”.

As the years passed, Martin relaxed on the former point. Size calculations done for Westeros and Essos using the Wall as a scale bar by multiple fans (but most notably Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson of westeros.org) did not turn up any major discrepancies in travel time
