Which mountain range contains the highest average elevation?

The Himalayas are the world’s highest mountain range, containing dozens of peaks above 7,000 m and 14 peaks above 8,000 m. When considered together with the adjacent Tibetan Plateau, the region has the highest average elevation on Earth. This enormous highland was created by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which is still ongoing. The result is a landscape of very high peaks, deep valleys, glaciers, and some of the planet’s most extreme weather.
