Minas Nîr is a landmark within Nan Gurth, in Angmar. [7.8N, 21.8W]
This is the northeastern spire of the "Tower of the Witch King". Being that it is guarded by towering stone-giants and their pet fire-worms, this tower is one of the most dangerous to scout of the eight. The large stone slabs assembled into hovels can be seen from afar, bearing warning of the massive men who constructed them. Unlike many of the eight towers, this does not allow any entrance to its inside.
