In briefanswer capsule

Thangorodrim is the name of the Mountains of Tyranny that Morgoth set above Angband. After combat his sons carried him back toward Mithrim; near the pass over Ered Wethrin he made them stop. Dying, he gazed at the remote summits of Thangorodrim, the greatest towers in Middle-earth, and understood that the Noldor would never tear them down.
