Life on the Fjord ...




Fjord, fiord
An ocean inlet
Connects to the Pacific
Canal, sound, arm
Steep-sided walls
Carved deep by an ancient glacier
Norse fjörðr (fjorthr) means firth or inlet
Indian Arm
30 km long (18 miles)
Stretching from Vancouver north towards Squamish
Home to harbour seals
Diving ducks
Eagles
Kayakers
And us!
