'''Tolkien Mountain''', also once called Consolation Peak, is a nominated mountain for Gazetting by the [[New Zealand Geographic Board]]'s . It is located near the heart of the Earl Mountains of [[Fiordland]] and close to Peter Jackson’s [[Isengard]], it is approximately 1757m high. The New Zealand Geological Record shows that the Land Formation {{Citation needed|date= December 2012}} Tolkien Mountain sits on is named after the City of Gondor. see [[Middle-earth]] [[legendarium]].
The mountain represents the startpoint of a quest to restore lost placenames which are recounted in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]Trilogy''. The Mountain is also the site where Geologist John Williams was when JRR Tolkien Died in 1973 and he Envisaged Tolkien’s Names on the as yet unnamed Mountain Peaks to the South West.
==The Lost Tolkien Mountains==

When Geologist John Williams began searching [[Fiordland]] during the mid [[20th Century]] for a Geo-Technical Data, his imagination was immediately drawn to Mistake Creek, and especially to [[Aragorn]] Peak at it’s head, whose form he believed was like a place out of Tolkien’s Fiction. He subsequently established his campsite based beneath Mount [[Caradhras]] aka Triangle Peak and "used this base to survey what welled there from the heart of the Earth in his exploring and prospecting". {{Citation needed|date= December 2012}}
Other peaks where John Williams found of “Tolkien like” in form that he recorded where [[Sauron]] aka Disappearing Peak (North) and Mount [[Gondor]] aka Consolation Peak as well as [[Rivendell]] Pass or Gap. aka U - Pass.
Several of these names where used on pre Metric Topographic Maps but where later removed, lost to public knowledge until the Filming of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] by [[Peter Jackson]] in the Area in 2000.
