Fjord
In physical geography, a fjord or fiord () is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier.

Norway's coastline is estimated to be long with its nearly 1,200 fjords, but only long excluding the fjords.

The work of the glacier then left an overdeepened U-shaped valley that ends abruptly at a valley or trough end. Such valleys are fjords wh ...
