A fjord is a strip of sea that comes into the land between high cliffs, especially in Norway. A long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between steep slopes. a narrow area of sea between high cliffs, especially in Norway (; related to ford). or fiord Long, narrow arm of the sea, often extending well inland, that results from marine inundation of a glaciated valley. Many fjords are remarkably deep; it is assumed that the huge glaciers that formed in these valleys were so heavy that they eroded the bottoms of the valleys far below sea level. After the glaciers melted, the waters of the sea invaded the valleys. Bokn Fjord Hardanger Fjord Sogne Fjord Kenai Fjords National Park
or fiord narrow sea inlet enclosed by high cliffs Fjords are found in Norway, New Zealand, and western parts of Scotland They are formed when an overdeepened l>glacial trough is drowned by a rise in Sea-level At the mouth of the fiord there is a characteristic lip causinga shallowing of the water This is due to reduced glacial erosion at this point
