Fjord

A fjord is a long, narrow sea inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. Fjords exist on the coasts of Antarctica, the Arctic, and surrounding landmasses of the northern and southern hemispheres. Norway’s coastline is estimated to be 29,000 km long with its nearly 1,200 fjords, but only 2,500 km long excluding the fjords.
Norway has several heritage fjords, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites and other notable fjords, these will require visiting ships to be low-emission by 2026 and zero-emission by 2032: Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, Hardangerfjord, Trollfjord, Urnes Stave Church, Hjørundfjord.
