FJORD

Fjord

Geologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by glacial erosion. The word comes to English from Icelandic, but related words are used in several Scandinavian languages, in many cases to refer to any long narrow body of water other than the more specific meaning it has in English. There are many fjords on the coasts of Norway, Iceland, and Greenland.
