Abstract: Kite and balloon aerial photography is introduced as a remote‐sensing method for periglacial features and vegetation. High‐resolution aerial pictures obtained by this method from Alaskan study sites are used for geometric analysis of ice‐wedge networks, quantification of patterned ground, and mapping of water and vegetation. High‐resolution aerial photographs could be an important data set for monitoring changes in permafrost pattern, periglacial processes and vegetation over time and space.
