Ok, this one is kind of self explanatory: 

The english word fjord is taken directly from Norwegian. It describes a landscape you find in the western and northern part of the country, defined as "a narrow inlet of the sea between cliffs or steep slopes"

Have you visited a fjord yet, either in Norway or elsewhere? Yes, the word fjord is also used to describe the landscapes in places such as Canada, New Zealand and Antharctica.
