Frodo Baggins, being a Hobbit, does like to make a meal of things. Three entire movies, each of at least a decade in length, document his little journey to Mordor (apparently there are some books about it, too). What no one deigns to mention – and it's not like they don't have the time – is that the quest to reach the fires of Mount Doom is undergone by more than a thousand people a day, at least during peak season. Before Peter Jackson and his film crew rolled into town, it went by the humble name of Mt Ngauruhoe, the fearsome volcano which forms the centrepiece of New Zealand's Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
