InNorse mythology, Niðafjöll (pronounced [ˈnɪðafjɔlː], also written Niðvellir, often anglicized as Nidafjöll), which means dark mountains, are located in the northern underworld. Niðafjöll is the site from which the dragon Níðhöggr comes. According to Snorri Sturluson, the good and virtuous people will live here in a golden palace after the Ragnarök, despite its proximity to Hel.[1][2]
Niðafjöll is mentioned in Völuspá from the Poetic Edda.[3]
From below the dragon dark comes forth, Nithhogg flying from Nithafjoll; The bodies of men on his wings he bears, The serpent bright: but now must I sink
Völuspá, verse 66
