View of the Plateau

An image of a large, flat-topped plateau that rises out landscape.
A large, dark plateau stands in the middle of the landscape, with smaller plateaus scattered around it. The plateaus all rise higher than the surrounding land, like mountains, and have top surfaces that are flat, like tables or shelves.

Is that a mountain? It's kind of like a mountain, because it's high above the ground and it's got steep sides. But the top is flat! So it's a plateau! I wonder what you can see from the top of this plateau.
