The Gàrradh (Ioannan: Creag Gàrradh, lit. The Wall or Rock Wall) is a mountain range in northern Ioanna, running east-west by northeast across the island, directly north of Yew. The range was created by a combination of glacial deposits and tectonic plate movement. Lying along a fault line between two plates, the mountains formed a natural dam of sorts which the glacier's southern advance pushed further rock against, creating a tall pinnacle that rises abruptly from the surrounding landscape in sheer cliffs. The glacier essentially dammed itself against the wall, preventing the further advance of the glacier and allowing southern Ioanna to remain habitable. The Gàrradh is the tallest peak on the island.
