$\begingroup$ @JohnWDailey I guess the point of this answer was that if a single plate can create a very high plateau (of width not negligible compared to the length of the range!), several plates all pushing on the polar one from different directions could achieve something similar but way more. Make it slow down after doing the lifting and erosion (mostly glaciers) will take care of the Himalayan circumpolar crown! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Additionally, please note that the very polar region is a bit darker (=lower) than the area just below (80-85 deg N), which could be very well a leftover of such history! $\endgroup$
