How to Norway: What is a fjord? | Visit Norway

Показать описание

Norway is famous for its beautiful fjords. Over 1000 fjords can be found around the country. But what exactly IS a fjord? Even some of the locals we asked didn't really know! In this episode of "How to Norway", Dag and Katarina share a few points on what makes a fjord a fjord:

- The water in a fjord is seawater! A fjord is connected to the ocean, so it’s like a backwards ocean river going INTO the country!
- The fjords are a result of the ice age! The ice carved out U-shaped valleys that got filled with seawater.
- A fjord has to be longer than it is wide.
- Norway is the country in the world that is best known for having fjords.
- The word "fjord" is a Norwegian word used in many languages.
- Being home to more than 1,200 fjords, Norway has the second longest coastline in the world. Not bad for the 61st-largest country on the planet.
- Norwegians live by the fjord, travel on them, fish and swim in them. Just like the Vikings used to do!

I first learnt about fjords many years ago while reading about Keiko ..the orca from the movie Free Willy.
They look like amazing landforms. Lots of love from my tiny island in the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 🎉

Hi, I recently got to know about your channel and loved your videos. I’ve visited Norway especially Oslo and Sandefjord quite a few times and we keep on getting invites from our Norwegian friends to join them for dinners but we really have no clue what to take with us…. like when you visit a family in Norway 🥲 do they like flowers, gifts, wine…? Can you please make a video about what to do and what not to do while visiting a Norwegian family 😅
