==Geography== {{See also|:Category:Images of the Frostfangs|l1=Images of the Frostfangs}} [[file:The_frostfangs_by_reneaigner.jpg|thumb|350px|The Frostfangs by reneaigner©]] The Frostfangs lie north of the [[Wall]], just northwest of the [[Shadow Tower]], separating the [[Lands of Always Winter]] to their west and the [[haunted forest]] to their east. Its southern peaks and foothills transition into the [[northern mountains]], which are part of the [[north]] within the [[Seven Kingdoms]].{{ref|TLOIAF| Westeros}} One of the largest mountains in the Frostfangs is called [[Forktop]] by the [[Night's Watch]].{{Ref|ACOK|53}} The Frostfangs are a cruel and inhospitable wilderness of stone and ice, blue-grey in color with snow-capped peaks.{{Ref|ACOK|34}}{{ref|ACOK|51}} However, the mountains conceal a diverse series of wonders. Icy waterfalls plunge over sheer stone cliffs, great lakes reflect snowy peaks, there are ravines so deep and black they seem to go all the way to hell, and bridges of natural stone span distances with only the sky to either side.{{Ref|ACOK|53}} The foothills of the Frostfangs have numerous winding valleys.{{ref|ASOS|Prologue}} The easiest way into the mountains is to follow the [[Milkwater]] to its source, but this path is visible from the [[Fist of the First Men]]. Other paths into the Frostfangs include the [[Giant's Stair]] and the [[Skirling Pass]], if it is clear.{{Ref|ACOK|34}} Hidden valleys sustaining small numbers of people exist in the Frostfangs.{{Ref|ACOK|23}} The [[Thenns]] live in [[Thenn (valley)|one such valley]] in the northern Frostfangs.{{ref|ASOS|26}}{{ref|ASOS|48}} Wildflowers, [[coldsnaps]], [[frostfires]], and [[piper's grass]] grow in the mountain meadows.{{ref|ACOK|51}}
