Misty Mountains
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy world of Middle-earth, the Misty Mountains are an epic mountain range, and one of the most important features of Middle-earth's geography.〔Karen Wynn Fonstad, ''The Atlas of Middle-earth'', HarperCollins, 1994 edition, Regional Maps, p. 79, ISBN 0 261 10277 X.〕 The mountain-chain is less well known by its Sindarin name of Hithaeglir (''mist-peak-line''〔J. R. R. Tolkien (1977), ed. Christopher Tolkien, ''The Silmarillion'', George Allen & Unwin, Index p.335, ISBN 0 04 823139 8.〕)—misspelled as Hithaiglin on the original ''Lord of the Rings'' map—and as the Mountains of Mist or the Towers of Mist.〔J. R. R. Tolkien (1977), ''The Silmarillion'', George Allen & Unwin, ch.3 p. 54; ISBN 0 04 823139 8.〕 The range stretched continuously for some 900 miles〔Karen Wynn Fonstad, ''The Atlas of Middle-earth'', HarperCollins, 1994 edition, Regional Maps, p. 79, ISBN 0 261 10277 X. In the Appendix (p.191) a different length is listed: 702 miles. The higher-scale map of Middle-earth which accompanies ''Unfinished Tales'' yields a length of about 850 miles.〕 (1440 kilometres) across the continent of Middle-earth.
The Misty Mountains were introduced to the world in Tolkien's 1937 book, ''The Hobbit''. A vision of the mountains is invoked in the first chapter: "''Far over the misty mountains cold...''"; they are encountered directly in chapter 4. Further information about the mountains was added in Tolkien's subsequent publications.
