The world-renowned epic saga movie "The Lord of the Rings" is back in the headlines again. It appears that the infamous haven Mount of Doom stirs trouble with its rising volcanic activity. Along that line, the business and trade of the region is facing a great risk of low returns.
According to The Sun, "Tourist and hikers have been warned to stay away from Mount Doom, which is made famous in The Lord Of The Rings movies because it could erupt any moment because the temperatures at Mount Ruapehu, the real name of the active volcano in New Zealand's Tongariro National Park, have doubled in the last few weeks, surging from 25C to 45C."
There has also been a huge increase of both carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide output at the volcano's Crater Lake, which last erupted six years ago and Mount Ruapehu was used to film a number of scenes in the epic film trilogy and scientists have raised its status to "heightened unrest", reports the same post
Even Volcanologist Geoff Kilgour said, "Taken together these data now indicate more volcanic unrest at Mount Ruapehu. The increased gas output coupled with high heat flow and volcanic tremor imply a higher likelihood of activity."
More report from iTech Post unveiled of the legacy that the mountain has left behind. According to the post, in "The Lord of the Rings," some scenes involved Mount Doom was filmed on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, and in the trilogy, Mount Doom is represented mainly by Mount Ngauruhoe, a nearby volcano in the same region.
Looking back, the story of Frodo revolved largely in Mount Doom in Mordor because it is the only place the Ring can be destroyed as well as being the final destination for the journey of the character Frodo Baggins, as noted by the same post.
As the "Lord of the Rings" Mount of Doom stirs trouble again, the heightened awareness being given to tourists and hikers imply that the business and trade of the region is also facing a downturn surge.
