The Mithrim Montes are a range of mountains on Titan , the largest moon of the planet Saturn . The range is located near Titan's equator , between 1–3° south and 126–8° west [1] and consists of three parallel ridges that are oriented east–west, spaced about 25 km apart.[2] They are located within the region Xanadu .[3] The highest peak is about 3,337 m (10,948 ft ) high and is located on the southernmost of the ridges; it is the highest known peak on Titan.[2]
The Mithrim Montes are named after the Mithrim Mountains , a range in J. R. R. Tolkien 's fictional world of Middle-earth .[1] This follows a convention that Titanean mountains are named after mountains in Tolkien's work.[4] The name was formally announced on November 13, 2012.[5]
