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.
