Niðafjöll

Niðafjöll (pronounced [ˈnɪðafjœlː], sometimes anglicized Nidafjöll), which means dark mountains, are mountains in the northern underworld from which the dragon Níðhöggr comes, mentioned in Völuspá 37 and 66, under the name of Niðvellir. There stood a golden palace that is the residence of Sindri's family (that is, the dwarfs). But a common misunderstanding of Völuspá 37 states that a palace called Sindri lies in Nidafjöll.
According to Snorri Sturluson, the good and virtuous people will live in this palace after the Ragnarök, despite its location in Hel.
