Etymology

The word 'fjord' originated from the Norwegian 'fjord', which means 'inlet of the sea'. Fjords are commonly found in Norway, Alaska, Greenland, and other regions with a history of glacial activity. These deep, narrow waterways are a result of glacial erosion over thousands of years, creating stunning landscapes that attract tourists from around the world.
