What is a long deep lake carved by glaciers?

A glacial fiord. Norway has lots of them, but there is also one
on the US East Coast. Somes Sound on Mt Desert Island in Maine is a
glacial fiord. It is also a very pretty area with lots of very
wealthy people having summer properties there. Mt. Desert Island is
just barely an island since the inland waterway separating it from
the mainland is just a creek.
