Is Mordor a Real Place on Earth?

Question

Considering Mordor exists in the North West of Middle Earth, where such a place might be in reality. Assuming Mordor exists in the North West of Middle Earth, where Middle Earth is North West of the world, one could argue it would probably be located somewhere in Africa.

Answer 1

Of course Mordor is a real place, just not on Earth. It is a dark area of Charon, one of Pluto’s moons, and looks like dark rusty dried blood. This spot was named after the host fictional work of Mordor from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.
