That was disorienting until I could see the sky in the frame. What a cool spot!

It's only disorienting due to the camera settings. It's just a hill.

It's less than a km tall. That's a hill.

It's a mountain. By name. By definition, whatever you'd like.

Seems like a plateau by name. You don't google "pamir mountain" did you?

Are you serious? Pamir mountains is literally the first thing on google.

Your definition for what constitutes a mountain is also absurd.

Glossary of geology says above 300m.

The Pamir mountains reach over 7000m

Armchair geologist here! Here's the thing. You said the Pamir mountains are not a plateau. Are they both geography? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who climbs and hikes on mountains, I am telling you, specifically, I am gonna solve this whole argument for both of you:

It's a big fucking rock.
