The Mordor: The second place of the tour

Scenes involving the dark lord Sauron's domain of Mordor is represented in the Lord of the Rings film
trilogy by the rocky plateau of Tongariro National Park. Though the famous volcano Ruapehu is not
to be seen, out of respect for the wishes of the native Maori people to whom it is a sacred place, one
of the other two volcanoes on the plateau now stands in for Mount Doom. Otherwordly formations,
sulphuric pools and hot springs add to the strangeness of the region. With the help of a little special-
effects magic, Tongariro became Mordor.
