fjordland
Narrow inlet terrain
Fjordland refers to a region characterized by fjords—long, narrow inlets carved by glacial erosion, with steep cliffs rising from deep water.
The term describes coastal landscapes shaped by ice age glaciers, typically in Norway, New Zealand, Chile, or Alaska: We spent a week hiking through the fjordland.
As a proper noun, Fiordland is a national park in New Zealand's South Island.
