Unlike stratified neighboring mountain ranges, which had origins in ancient and placid seas, the Organs – purportedly named by the Spanish for their resemblance to the pipes of the great organs in the cathedrals of their home country – emerged from the molten interior of the earth in a complex sequence of violent magmatic eruptions, lava flows, structural warping and fracturing and relentless erosion.
