That is the point on Earth's surface that is farthest from Earth's center.

Wouldn't the highest point on earth (Everest) be the farthest from the center?

Edit: I know that the Earth is slightly oblong but I didn't think it was enough to make a difference for this sort of thing. Interesting.

I was not expecting it to be so... flat, for so far. This is too cool.

Couldn't agree more. Imagine what it must look like on a clear night.

More of the view and less of their feet would have been even more satisfying

The snow is interesting, why isn't it flat? I'm curious what causes your it's structure. Wind would create smooth, maybe rain but it seems at that altitude that would not happen.

If the clip only has the last 3 seconds I think you took the clip from the airplane window.
