I've never seen a map quite mark elevation quite so clearly before now. This is quite interesting from the point of view of a flat earth possibility since the outer ice wall around flat earth is said to be 200 miles high. The above map is fairly consistent with the HIGHEST point being NEAR the South Pole. It didn't necessarily have to work out that way! Yet-- the area near the South Pole DOES have the HIGHEST elevation! On a flat earth, the South Pole is actually a PERIMETER around the entire EARTH POND.... and the flat earth theory has that perimeter as HIGHER than anything closer to the center of the Earth Pond. (This was a NASA map but I lost my link-- it's findable later again).
Recall this idea in the index below under ELEVATION of Antarctica map.
Felix pointed to a few more references in comments below that I'll repost here for convenience. One of the youtubes he pointed to was this one.

Rick's comment- I don't quite understand how this video can be a composite of 1000 satellite images given the look and feel of the video. The point-of-view seems to swoop downward and across ranges and move all around. It's not clear to me that this is not pure simulation.
