<Summary>As part of the MOSES airborne campaign led by the Alfred Wegener Institute in 2018, we collected super-high-resolution multispectral imagery of permafrost landscapes with the Modular Aerial Camera System (MACS), developed by the German Aerospace Center. From these images, we photogrammetrically processed four-band orthophotos (blue, green, red, near-infrared) and digital surface models at a spatial resolution of 10 cm, as well as photogrammetric point clouds in RGB and NIR at 10.28 px/m³ and 3.86 px/m³ respectively. This dataset covers approximately 15.03 km² of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk-Highway in Canada, with all images collected on 22 August 2018. This super-high-resolution dataset provides opportunities for generating detailed training datasets of permafrost landform inventories, a baseline for change detection for thermokarst and thermo-erosion processes, and upscaling of field measurements to lower-resolution satellite observations. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.962014"!</Summary>
