This dataset includes digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthorectified mosaics (OMs) from the Sveinagja site. It is part of a collection of altogether 27 DEMs and OMs of fractures associated with massively dilatant faults along the rift zones in Iceland. The dataset was created from aerial images acquired using unmanned aerial vehicles. The DEMs and orthorectified mosaics were produced from sets of overlapping photographs shot from different altitude and created using the photogrammetry processing software Agisoft PhotoScan Professional V. 1.3.2 (2017). The products show the fractures and faults in cm-scale resolution.
