The Third Pole region contains vast glaciers, and changes in these glaciers profoundly affect the lives and development of billions of people. Therefore, accurate glacier monitoring in this region is of great scientific and practical significance. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide high-resolution observation capabilities and flexible deployment options, effectively overcoming certain limitations associated with traditional in situ and satellite remote sensing observations. Thus, UAV technology is increasingly gaining traction and application in the glaciology community. This review systematically analyzed studies involving UAV technology in Third Pole glaciology research and determined that relevant studies have been performed for a decade (2014–2024). Notably, after 2020, the number of relevant manuscripts has increased significantly. Research activities are biased toward the use of rotary-wing UAVs (63%) and ground control point (GCP) correction methods (67%). Additionally, there is strong emphasis on analyzing glacier surface elevation, surface velocity, and landform evolution. These activities are primarily concentrated in the Himalayan region, with relatively less research being conducted in the western and central areas. UAV technology has significantly contributed to glaciology research in the Third Pole region and holds great potential to enhance the monitoring capabilities in future studies.
