Fjord - <span>A fjord or fiord is a steep water inlet which is narrow. It is created due to glacial erosion. Long ago, when the earth was covered with glaciers, they cut bedrock into U-shaped valleys. As the glaciers moved, they would leave a narrow waterway in their path, due to melting. These waterways are called fjords. </span><span />
