Description
Summary:The Pamir is a high plateau located at the intersection of the world's tallest mountains of the Himalayas, Karakoram, Hindu Kush, Kunlun, and Tian Shan regions. These mountains are sometimes referred as the Roof of the World. The Pamir is shared by Afghanistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. Due to its geopolitical importance, sometimes it is referred to as the Pamir Knot. The biodiversity in the Pamir is high thanks to the intersection of several climates among the various mountain ranges.
