Dear cartographers, I have just linked your terrain layer in an open layers web map and recognized that the altitude of the Matterhorn (Switzerland) is not correct:
Altitude in your map: 3883m
Altitude in Swiss maps: 4478m
Nevertheless I like your map products, especially the watercolor layer!
Best regards from Switzerland

The source of that number is in the ne_10m_geography_regions_elevation_points file in Natural Earth. We need to fix the bug there first. Tracking that issue in nvkelso/natural-earth-vector#184
