Ruapehu near Tongariro National Park on the North Island of New Zealand. They were filming scenes for &#8216;The Two Towers&#8217; in which the two Hobbits follow <a HREF=\"http:\/\/theonering.net\/movie\/char\/gollum.html\">Gollum<\/a> towards Mordor. <\/p>\n<p>The only problem is, the hot Middle-earth sun near Mordor would be no place for snow..and Mt. Ruapehu is currently covered with it!<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s do be done when you need to get rid of snow over rocks and grass and rough terrain? You call in the fire department and have them wash it away! Take a look at this great pic from <b>R<\/b> who got up close and personal with the folks transforming New Zealand to Middle-earth.
