misty mountains
Fog-shrouded high terrain
Mountains partially obscured by mist or haze, creating an atmospheric, dreamlike quality.
The phrase evokes romantic landscapes—distant peaks fading into fog, the stuff of fantasy novels and landscape paintings.
The misty mountains rose in layers of gray and blue.
Tolkien's "Misty Mountains" in Middle-earth cemented the phrase in fantasy literature.
