Coldness
The constant cold of Gethen contributes to the loneliness and isolation because gently doesn't feel that he fits in. His size and looks make him stand out as the outcast which conveys the loneliness Genly feels. He seems to always be confused with how this society is, for instance the sexual orientation of the people. Because he is unsure of what he thinks this displays the isolation he has with the people of winter. In addition he cannot adjust to the climate, he seems to be always cold unlike the rest of the population whom are used to the weather and have adjusted. These internal and external struggles have left Genly feeling alone and not apart of everyone.

I agree that it has been a constant struggle for Genley, emotionally and physically especially since he's been probably been feeling that way for about two years on Gethen. Then on top of the fact that he has to focus on his mission and doesn't really have anyone to talk to about how he's feeling without worrying about shifgrethor, it can quite isolating. Ironically, Estraven was Genley's only "friend" since they were the one he told the most about.
