Describe the issue
I just found a potentially wrong hypsometry entry for a glacier in Bhutan:
RGI60-15.02228 (G089572E28108N)
in the file "15_rgi60_SouthAsiaEast_hypso.csv", which I downloaded one year ago and today again to check from https://www.glims.org/RGI/rgi60_dl.html
[www.glims.org] .
The entry for that glacier says it covers the elevation bands 525-1125 m a.s.l., which I think is way too low.

Expected outcome
Find source of error (DEM?) and check this glacier when processing for RGI version 7.
Additional context
This might solve itself if new DEMs are used.
