Glaciers from long ago shaped the landscape of Scandinavia by carving out fjords, valleys, and lakes. Their movement also deposited sediments that enriched the soil for agriculture. Today, the melting of glaciers due to climate change is contributing to rising sea levels and impacting ecosystems in Scandinavia.
Fjord is a narrow inlet carved out by glaciers.
Flooded glacial valleys are valleys carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age which are now submerged under water. These valleys can form deep fjords, where seawater has filled in the glacially-carved depressions. Examples include the fjords of Norway and Alaska.

Fjords are estuaries formed by glacial action. They are long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by the movement of glaciers. Fjords are typically found in high-latitude regions where glaciers have carved deep valleys into the landscape.
