Understanding Pakistan's Geographic Extremes
Pakistan boasts a diverse landscape, ranging from towering mountain peaks to coastal plains. This geographical variety results in significant differences in elevation.
- Highest Point: The highest point is a matter of some debate, with K2 (8,611 m or 28,251 ft) often cited, but Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) is considered the highest undisputed peak within Pakistan's internationally recognized borders.
- Lowest Point: As stated, the lowest point lies near Sir Creek in Thatta, located at sea level. Sir Creek is a disputed tidal waterway bordering India.
This information is sourced from the Wikipedia article on the List of extreme points of Pakistan, which states: "Lowest, Near Sir Creek, Thatta | 0 m (0.0 ft)". While this reference clarifies the lowest elevation, further research into Sir Creek's exact lowest point could reveal more precise data.
The references highlight the significant elevation differences within Pakistan and the need for precise geographical delineation in determining extreme points. Several references mention "lowest points" in the context of Pakistan's cricket team's performance, but these are unrelated to geographical elevation.
