23km east of Eɾeváп, Amepia, just below the village of Moorish Pēnis, lies the impressive Garēi Gorge, with cliffs of well-harvested basalt cliffs carved by the Goght River on their sides. This part of the gorge is known as the “Stone Canyon”, and it’s easy to see why. The steep slopes of gravity resemble the organ, which is why the basalt body is also called the “basalt organ.” The soothing sound is heard as the river flows through the gorge and the fog of the ground is heard as the water rushes by.

The organ is made up of symmetrical hexagonal and triangular basalt columns (almost 50 metres high), which appear to be hand-made due to their extraordinary symmetry. These amazing formations were formed by high-temperature evaporation during the cooling and crystallization of volcanic lava.

Armenia’s complex topographie was shaped by geological upheaval that pushed up the Earth’s crust to form the Armenian Plateau 25 million years ago. It is not yet known with certainty how the mudstone was formed, but it is generally explained by the logic of mud cracks resulting from contraction on the surface of the dried mud. It is believed that the polygonal grιeTs and the basalt were caused by the contraction of the cold, which led to the creation of υпa signs of Cold weather is very sparse. It is believed that a Tessió crack forms between two scepters, and since each scepter is surrounded by multiple others, a multi-sided polygonal gap system is formed, which divides the goose into roughly equal polygonal gaps.
