Aerophotogrammetrical monitoring of Gruben rock glacier over the period 1970 to 1995 results in a unique time series documenting the three‐dimensional surface kinematics of creeping mountain permafrost. In places, the area under study is affected by historical fluctuations of the polythermal Gruben...
