+## Type mapping
+
+### PyArrow
+
+The Iceberg specification only specifies type mapping for Avro, Parquet, and ORC:
+
+- [Iceberg to Avro](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#avro)
+
+- [Iceberg to Parquet](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#parquet)
+
+- [Iceberg to ORC](https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#orc)
+
+The following tables describe the type mappings between PyIceberg and PyArrow. In the tables below, `pa` refers to the `pyarrow` module:
+
+```python
+import pyarrow as pa
+```

+***Notes***
+
+- PyIceberg `GeometryType` and `GeographyType` types are mapped to a GeoArrow WKB extension type.
+Otherwise, falls back to `pa.large_binary()` which stores WKB bytes.
