Abstract: We show that if the maximum modulus of a quasiregular mapping $ f: \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N$ grows sufficiently rapidly, then there exists a nonempty escaping set $ I(f)$ consisting of points whose forward orbits under iteration of $ f$ tend to infinity. We also construct a quasiregular mapping for which the closure of $ I(f)$ has a bounded component. This stands in contrast to the situation for entire functions in the complex plane, for which all components of the closure of $ I(f)$ are unbounded and where it is in fact conjectured that all components of $ I(f)$ are unbounded.
