RGI01: outlines missing in RGI6 #41

I think I've found a group of glaciers in Alaska that are not in the RGI up to v6.0, and maybe not yet in v7.0, either. It's not a very large group (~45 glaciers, ~20 sq. km area based on USGS topographic maps), but it's also not nothing.

I see that the deadline for submitting data has passed, so maybe it will have to wait for RGI v7.1, assuming that no one else has mapped these? I've attached a screenshot of the outlines (from the ca. 1960 topo maps), but I can send along outlines from closer to 2000 (or whenever) if you'd like. For reference, the box is centered at about 62.6N, 143W - it's just north of the Wrangell Mountains.

Current status: check with GLIMS if they are in it.

@bruceraup last call to get this into RGI7!

At last, closing this seals it for RGI01 ;-) https://github.com/GLIMS-RGI/rgi7_scripts/wiki/RGI01-(Alaska)

Thanks all for your work!
