15 Highest Plateaus in the World

Rising far above the world’s continents, plateaus are nature’s high-altitude fortresses—flat-topped giants sculpted by tectonic uplift and erosion over millions of years. These vast uplands are often surrounded by towering mountains, deserts, or valleys, making them some of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth. From the colossal Tibetan Plateau, often called the “Roof of the World,” to the icy Andean highlands and the surreal Ethiopian Highlands, these are the 15 Highest Plateaus in the World—where life survives at the very edge of the sky.
