what is a fjord
Geologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity. In Iceland during the Ice Age, massive glaciers carved out the plunging fjords which cut into the coastline on the north, east and west and created razor sharp mountain ridges.eologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created in a valley carved by glacial activity.
