The fjord is the soul of Norway. The English fjord of the fjord originates from Norwegian. Looking at the world map carefully, except Norway, there is no other place in the world where the coastline is so fragmented. The fjord is a unique terrain formed by the movement of glaciers. During the last glacial period more than 10,000 years ago, the entire Scandinavian Peninsula was covered by thick ice sheets. Glaciers on the edge of the ice sheet slid downwards from high places, eroding the walls of the mountains and forming canyons. Over time, glaciers began to melt and move toward the ocean, cutting valleys into U-shaped ones, and the fjords formed where seawater poured back. These entrances to the fjords, which were cut by glaciers thousands of years ago, are now framed by green cliffs. The majestic mountains and vast oceans seem to be engaged in an endless war here, but they bring spectacular scenery to the people who are in them.
