A norwegian fjord is a fjord in Norway!
(a fjord is seawater connected with the sea into the bottom of a valley)
The Norwegian Fjord horse (named after the Fjords it lived near.) Is a very old breed and in fact the Vikings used to use them for warfare and even took some with them to Iceland where they helped to contribute to the Icelandic horse breed.
