Talk:Mount Doom

General
"Sammath Naur" is the "chamber of fire".

The book refers to the mountain's peak rising 4500 feet above the plateau of Gorgoroth, but no reference to height above sea level. (Nor, I think, do we know Gorgoroth's elevation.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.176.248.112 (talk) 07:29, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Origins
9/29/08 - Someone needs to post references regarding the "Origins" section, explaining how he or she came to the conclusion that Mount Doom / Orodruin was influenced by the Norse concept of Ragnarok. Sounds like a personal opinion to me. Also, does anybody know anything about the etymology of Orodruin? If I remember right, I think orod is the Sindarin singular for "mountain" (the plural being ered), while "ruin" is obvious enough. Any thoughts? - Myrddin Wyllt

Apparent discrepancy
In what way was Orodruin represented by Mount Ngauruhoe? If it's true that in long shots the mountain was either a large model or a CGI effect, and scenes on the slopes of Mount Doom were filmed on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu, then what did Mount Ngauruhoe have to do with the filming? Was it used to construct the "large model"? Whatever part it played should be made clear. Embram (talk) 19:21, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
