    Yea.. I used to love that map.. now i see Mordor and can't help but shudder....Though, in a way... one might be able to argue divine intervention which trumps plate tectonics... Also, volcano's tend to totally hose up the normal plate tectonic means of creating mountains..

    From time to time the mountains in Mordor bother me from a cartography standpoint. That being said by reading the books it seems like something either Morgoth or Sauron would have done as almost a makeshift castle...so then I feel better about it .
