The Norwegian fjords

Definition: The general definition of fjord in Scandinavia is that fjord represents an elongated, deep body of water that is connected to the open sea at some point. A fjord is usually a deep bay or inlet along the coast, sometimes surrounded by cliffs.

Especially in southern Scandinavia fjords can also simply be shallow lakes or lagoons which is often not part of the English definition of fjords.
