Description of the problem

See load_earth_relief:

region (str or list) – The subregion of the grid to load, in the forms of a list [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax] or a string xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax. Required for Earth relief grids with resolutions higher than 5 arc-minute (i.e., 05m).

# earth relief data stored as tiles for high resolutions
tiled_resolutions = ["05m", "04m", "03m", "02m", "01m", "30s", "15s", "03s", "01s"]

So, Higher than 5 arc-minute means "04m", "03m", "02m", "01m", "30s", "15s", "03s", adn "01s"? But "05m" is actually high resolution relief data.
