➤ Most, if not all, fjords were formed at the end of the ice age.
➤ A fjord is a deep, narrow and elongated sea or lakedrain, with steep land on three sides.
➤ A true fjord is formed when a glacier creates a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the surrounding bedrock.
➤ All fjords in Norway are UNESCO protected.
➤ The fjords can be seen as a symbol of Norway’s past when people lived as hunters and gatherers and fended for their lives in the rocky terrain that is part of the serene fjords.
