Parallel ranges / parallel clusters

A cluster may be used in this context, but the UK geological society refers to ranges in its article on those mountains.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Yvonne Gallagher : I also don't agree with "cluster". "parallel ranges" is fine but you've only translated part of this. Though at least you've given references, unlike the others

several parallel ranges/bands of tall mountains spread out

ranges is the more technical term, bands is a more literal translation, maybe intended to be descriptive by the original's author
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : They can't spread out if they're parallel.
