ReplyDeleteThe image is really incredible!
I love it.
Thanks for the pages, they are very helpful!
Yes, Laura. The most famous fjords are in Norway. In Spain we have something similar, but from a different origin: the rias. Rias are ancient river valleys that were flooded by the sea. They are also beautiful, but fjords are spectacular. If you look at a map of Norway, you can see that its coast is completely indented, as if someone had cut it out with a pair of scissors. These cuts are fjords. They are very touristic.
