The Lord of the Rings
In autumn 2000, Tongariro National Park was home to the most sinister of the Lord of the Rings locations, Mordor, which is
the strong hold of the dark Lord Sauron. Mordor, is the great volcanic plateau filled with geological wonders known as Gorgoroth. Much of Frodo and Sam's journey into the land of Sauron was filmed on and around the Tongariro National Park.
The area has jagged volcanic rock formations and eerie barren landscapes, ideally suited to Mordor's hissing wasteland.
To really immerse yourself in Mordor and feel the eerie barren landscape, trek the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The following are features of Tongariro National Park that were captured in the filming of scenes from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
