A fjord is a long, narrow coastal inlet between high cliffs, formed by glacial activity. It is typically deep, U-shaped, and filled with seawater. The term, from Norwegian, denotes these dramatic, water-filled valleys carved by ancient glaciers. In geology and geography contexts, fjords are notable for their steep sides and dramatic scenery.
