I have visited the Pamir plateau, and my opinion is that there’s some camera trickery going on here. Feels like the saturation has been turned up, and the framing/zoom has been set to mess with your perception. That being said, the pamir mountains are very impressive - I just don’t recall them being quite as vibrant as this.

Agreed. The sense of scale is truly crazy in real life, but nothing like what is pictured here. It feels grand a bit like the Moab desert does.

Still one of the coolest landscapes I have seen.
