Wikipedia
Geologically, a fjord or fiord ( or ) is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by glacial erosion. There are many fjords on the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia, Chile, Greenland, Iceland, the Kerguelen Islands, New Zealand, Norway, Labrador, Nunavut, Newfoundland, Scotland, and Washington state. Norway's coastline is estimated at 29,000 km with fjords, but only 2500 km when fjords are excluded.
A fjord is a long, narrow inlet between cliffs typically formed from a glaciated valley.
Fjord may also refer to:

- Fjord City, an urban renewal project for the waterfront of Oslo, Norway
