The fictional, fuming Mount Doom was portrayed by two different New Zealand peaks in the 'Lord of the Rings' movies, and here we see one of them: a sun-soaked Mount Ngauruhoe. With roughly 70 eruptions since recordkeeping began, Ngauruhoe is the most active of at least a dozen cones making up the stratovolcano complex called Tongariro. The last of its blasts happened back in 1977, making this the longest recorded period of dormancy in its 2,500-year existence—but its fellow Mount Doom stand-in, nearby Mount Ruapehu, has remained active well into the 21st century.
