This had originally been a transparent mountain range made of ice for rock and snow for soil.
The glacier stretching for a thousand miles had been the eternal prison that once held Calamity Red. When the ice prison was smashed apart by his fury, the mountain range was instantly dyed red with blood. The snow became blackish-red soil, while the ice became rock.
