There are few fjords on the coast of Alaska.
  == Locations ==The principal mountainous regions where fjords have formed are in the higher middle latitudes and the high latitudes reaching to 80N (Svalbard, Greenland), where, during the glacial period, many valley glaciers descended to the then-lower sea level
 In Scandinavia, fjord is used for a narrow inlet of the sea in Norway, Denmark and western Sweden, but this is not its only application
