Mithrim formed a part of Hithlum, and was the south-western corner of it, bordering Dor-lómin to the east, from which it was divided by the Mountains of Mithrim. Mithrim's climate was the same as Hithlum's, the air was cool and the winters was cold but it was a fair land.

Peter Xavier Price – The Mountains of Mithrim

The Mountains of Mithrim or the Hills of Mithrim were a range of mountains located in Hithlum.[1] They formed the border between Mithrim and Dor-lómin,[2] and thus between the realms of Fingolfin and his son Fingon after the Noldor settled in Hithlum. The caves of Androth, where some of the Grey-elves of Mithrim dwelt after Nirnaeth Arnoediad,[3] were probably in the Mountains of Mithrim.
