I'm so sorry that I didn't get to suggest including the fjord as a series of coastal projections before the entry was finalised!?smiley - erm

How could we leave out Slartibartfast's favorite crinkly, coastal feature?smiley - doh

Why, if 'FordsTowel' hadn't been an available researcher name, I would have been forced to go with FjordsTowel! smiley - biggrin

Great job, though. Thanks for the great entry!smiley - ok

smiley - cheers

Thanks Fords smiley - smiley

Although undoubtedly a coastal feature, I thought a fjord was more of an inlet rather than a projection? What do you think?

Actually, I'm sure you're correct, that the fjords are the actual inlets created by glacial activity. I guess I've always associated the 'crinkly bits' between fjords to be part of the fjord system of Norway.smiley - erm

I wonder what to DO call the projections between fjords?smiley - doh
