The Tibetan Plateau is an immense upland, a little 3500 by 1500 kilometers in size, averaging more than 5000 meters in elevation. It includes almost all a world's territory aloft than 4000 meters. Its southern rim, a Himalaya-Karakoram complex, contains not only Mount Everest as well as all thirteen other peaks aloft than 8000 meters, but hundreds of 7000-meter peaks each aloft than anywhere else on Earth.

The Tibetan Plateau is not only a largest, highest area in a universe today; it may be a largest as well as highest in all of geologic history. That's since a set of events which shaped it appears to be unique: a full-speed collision of dual continental plates.
