This database contains drone-based mapping data of seven crevassed glaciers in Svalbard, Norway. The dataset was generated using a structure-from-motion (SfM) method using drone-based imagery. The data was processed with Agisoft Metashape (version 1.8.5) and the processed data consists of digital elevation models (DEMs) in georeferenced .TIF file format, orthomosaic maps in georeferenced .TIF, .JPG, and .PNG file format, and textured 3D models in .STL and .OBJ/.MTL/.JPG file format. In addition, a process report in archived .PDF file format is included for each dataset. Mapping was conducted with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro Enterprise and a DJI Phantom 4 Pro.
