List of fjords in Canada

Fjords in Canada are long, narrow inlets characterized by steep sides, created in a valley carved by glacial activity.

Mountainous glaciated areas in Canada are along the British Columbia Coast: from the Alaskan border along the Portland Canal[1] to Indian Arm.

This occurred in the early 20th century at Western Brook Pond of Gros Morne National Park when a 30 m (98 ft) tsunami was created after Broke Off Cliff fell.

[15] The locality of Hagensborg in the Bella Coola Valley in the Dean Channel fjord was settled by Norwegian immigrants in 1894 as it reminded them of home.

[20] The use of the word canal to name fjords or inlets on the British Columbian and Southeast Alaskan coast is a legacy of the Spanish expeditions to the Pacific Northwest in the 18th century.

The cold dry air of the continental interior seeks out the easier passage through the fjord valley creating hurricane-force winds.

[27] It is of interest to note that Pissing Mare Falls at 350 m (1,150 ft) high, is one of several waterfalls to drain into Western Brook Pond, Along the British Columbia Coast, a notable fjord-lake is Owikeno Lake,[28] which is a freshwater extension of Rivers Inlet.
