Descrizione
English: Locations of R'Lyeh, a fictional city that appeared in the writings of H. P. Lovecraft (†1937). Lovecraft claims R'lyeh is located at 47°9′S 126°43′W in the southern Pacific Ocean. While August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent of Lovecraft and co-creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, placed R'lyeh at 49°51′S 128°34′W. Both locations are close to the Pacific pole of inaccessibility (the "Nemo" point, 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W), a point in the ocean farthest from any land mass.

This map, as well as other fictitious maps, is fictitious or too incorrect (i.e. due to anachronism) to be used in real-life contexts (contemporary or historic). It may have some visual elements that are similar to official maps such as colors or certain layout features, but they are NOT official and don't have any official recognition.
