[edit] Portrayal in Cinema statements

• Please provide sources for the statements you added to Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe. Thanks. RedWolf 15:32, 19 March

• I did. I provided a link to Mount Doom, which redirects to Orodruin, which in turn contains the entry

[edit] Film representations

In Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, Mount Doom was represented by Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Ruapehu, both active volcanoes in New Zealand. In long shots the mountain is either a large model or a CGI effect, or a combination. It was not permitted to film the summit of Ngauruhoe because it is sacred to Māori of the region. However, some scenes on the slopes of Mount Doom were filmed on the slopes of another nearby volcano, Mount Ruapehu.

[edit] Accidents on Ruapehu

I remember some time ago (in ~1990's) , a group of Soldiers got into difficulty on Ruapehu and a number died. In the same blizzard a Japanese climber survived a week in a snow cave. If details of this event can be found it may be worth adding --Zven 19:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
