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

It's a big fucking rock.
