How high is Mount Doom?

The walk itself starts at around 1100m and the main track peaks at around 1880m, with the option of climbing to the summit of both Tongariro and Ngauruhoe as you go. What is this?

Originally Answered: Was Mount Doom the only volcano in Middle Earth? In Middle-Earth, yes. Mount Doom, or Orodruin, was the main reason why Sauron chose Mordor and that particular location within it as his permanent base during the Second Age.

Mount Doom is a fictional volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth legendarium. It is located in the northwest of the Black Land of Mordor and close to Barad-dûr. Alternative names, in Tolkien’s invented language of Sindarin, include Orodruin (“fiery mountain”) and Amon Amarth (“mountain of fate”).

Mount Ruapehu, located on the northern island of New Zealand is famous for its depiction as Mount Doom, and may soon live up to its name. The volcano was used by Peter Jackson to depict Mount Doom from J. R. R. Tolkien’s famous Lord Of The Rings.

Mount Tongariro is a steep volcano with a height of 1,978 metres and consists of 12 cones. The most famous vents along Mount Tongariro’s massive complex are Te Maari Crater, the Red Crater and Mount Ngauruhoe, each of which was formed at different stages of the volcano’s history.

Mount Ngauruhoe Via Tongariro Alpine Crossing is a 10.5 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Owhango, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and running.

Mount Ngauruhoe was used as a stand-in for the fictional Mount Doom in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, achieving worldwide exposure.

The mountain erupted in S.A. 3429, signalling Sauron’s attack to Gondor and it took the name Amon Amarth, “Mount Doom”. In T.A. 2954, Mount Doom reawakened and the last inhabitants of Ithilien terrified fled over Anduin. From then on it erupted sporadically until the end of the Age.

Sauron’s power was destroyed, sending shock waves through the air and ground. The Dark Tower of Barad-dûr, the Black Gate and the Towers of Teeth collapsed into ruin. Mount Doom erupted and both Sauron and his Ringwraiths were apparently destroyed.

Ngauruhoe is the largest and youngest of the Tongariro cones being about 7,000 years old. Ngauruhoe is the most continuously active of the volcanoes in New Zealand, with the Māori recording many eruptions prior to European colonisation. The first European description was an eruption in 1839.

Originally Answered: Is Sauron an elf? No Sauron is not an elf, elves are the firstborn children of iluvatar but Sauron is a maia an angelic being that has existed before the universe was even created. He’s a divine spirit that existed long before the creation of Eä but turned to evil when Morgoth corrupted him.

Mount Ruapehu, active volcano and highest peak (9,176 feet [2,797 m]) on North Island, New Zealand, in Tongariro National Park.

Amon Hen was a hill in the Emyn Muil at Nen Hithoel’s west. At its summit was the ruined structure known as the Seat of Seeing.

Like Taranaki and Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe is a stratovolcano (or composite cone volcano) made of alternating layers of ash, scoria and andesite lava flows. The sides of the cone are steep, loose scree slopes covered in material from recent eruptions.

This challenging trip begins at 1120 m, climbs the Mangatepopo Valley to the saddle between Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe, through South Crater before climbing again to Red Crater, the highest point on the crossing at 1886 m.

Ngauruhoe last erupted 12-23 February 1975, when strong explosive activity sent eruption plumes to 10 km and pyroclastic flows moved down the flanks (Nairn and Self, 1978).

Shield volcanoes Mt Eden is a scoria cone volcano that last erupted around 16,000 years ago. At 196 m in height, Mt Eden is the highest natural point in Auckland. Historically used as a pā site and also a quarry.

It’s about 2 hours and 600 vertical metres flog up from the saddle to the crater rim. About 150 vertical metres below the summit the rock rib runs out and you enter the “red band”.

Ngauruhoe, together with the other peaks of Tongariro National Park, was regarded as highly tapu by the Maori. The name Ngauruhoe – the peak of Uruhoe –commemorates the slave whom Ngatoroirangi, archpriest of Arawa canoe, sacrificed in order to add mana to his plea for fire to be sent from Hawaiki.

Climbers can trek to the summit of Mt. Ngauruhoe a poled route leads from Mangatepopo Road end (this can also be done part of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing if you really want to immerse yourself in Mordor). At the saddle between Ngauruhoe and Tongariro the route is not marked but the climb up the old lava flow.

On this wondrous day in 3019 of the Third Age, Frodo Baggins tossed The One Ring into the fire of Sammath Naur, in Orodruin, Amon Amarth in Mordor thus saving Middle-Earth and its habitants.

Geologists have noticed increased activity at New Zealand’s Mount Ruapehu, the volcano that served as a stand-in for the fictional Mount Doom that Frodo and his fellow hairy-footed friend Sam travel to in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Doom Mons is located in the Southern Hemisphere of Titan, between 14-15° south and 40-41° west. It is located within the Aztlan darklands region, possibly connected to the wider Shangri-La dark region, and is adjacent to Sotra Patera, a possible cryovolcanic caldera 1.7 km (1.1 mi) deep.

Gandalf learned from Gollum that Sauron now knew where to find the Ring. To prevent Sauron from reclaiming his Ring, Frodo and eight other companions set out from Rivendell for Mordor to destroy the Ring in the fires of Mount Doom. During the quest, Frodo gradually fell under the Ring’s power.

Mordor had an inhospitable climate, even ignoring the effects of Sauron – hot and dry with little vegetation.

Tongariro National Park – The land of Mordor. If you were only able to visit one real life Lord of the Rings location in New Zealand, then the Tongariro National Park has to be it. This was the main setting for the land of Mordor, and is home to phenomenal scenery.

Probably not. We know that the south of Mordor was well-watered and fertile even in Sauron’s time, when it was the location of “great slave-worked fields away south in this wide realm., beyond the fumes of the Mountain by the dark, sad waters of Lake Núrnen”.

Krakatoa, Indonesian Krakatau, volcano on Rakata Island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, Indonesia.

Whakaari/White Island is currently New Zealand’s most active cone volcano, sitting 48 kilometres offshore. The cone has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years.

Tongariro National Park is an active volcanic area. Eruptions can occur with little or no warning. The closer you are to the Park’s active volcanic vents, the higher the risk.

Morgoth was in the form of a great Dark Lord and he was probably 30–40 feet tall.

As one of the Maiar he is an immortal spirit, but being in a physical body on Middle-earth, he can be killed in battle, as he is by the Balrog from Moria. He is sent back to Middle-earth to complete his mission, now as Gandalf the White and leader of the Istari.
