The Bay of Utûm (Avarin. "Un-Deep") was a huge rift in the Far North of Middle-earth which separated the Mur Fostisyr of Forodwaith from the great Northern Peninsula. It was created by the destruction of Utumno by the Valar. The majority of the pits and vaults of the fell fortress were drowned by this rift, though Demonic energy remained strong here, motivating chaos and pain in very nearby societies; and Orc tribes, particularly Mountain-Orcs, were found here.

The Bay of Utûm seems to correspond geographically to or be inspired by the Gulf of Ob and the Kara Sea in western Siberia.
