The most beautiful fjords on the planet
List about the most beautiful fjords on the planet
A fjord is a narrow sea inlet formed by the flooding of a valley excavated or partially carved by the action of glaciers. The fjords are found from latitude 50 in the northern hemisphere and from latitude 40 in the southern hemisphere. In accordance with this, fjords present the coasts of Alaska, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Scotland, New Zealand, the Chilean Patagonia and the Island of the States in Argentina.
