fjords are often formed like the coastline of Scandinavia after the last ice age. It can also make the earth on which it resides go flat, much like the Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada, also the prairies of the USA. It all depends on the composition of the earth underneath the glacier. I hope this info is helpful and or 100% correct, for it has been some years since I last did research on this topic.
