List of fjords in Canada facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

A fjord is a long, narrow arm of the sea. It has very steep sides, like a deep valley. Fjords are created by glaciers that slowly carve out the land over thousands of years. Imagine a giant ice river pushing its way through mountains!

A fjord can have deep parts, like bowls, and shallower parts called sills. These sills are like underwater ridges that separate the deeper sections. The deep bowls can be from 20 to 500 meters deep. The sills might be just a few meters below the water's surface.

Canada has many fjords, especially along its coastlines.

Where to Find Fjords in Canada

Canada is home to many amazing fjords. You can find them in different parts of the country.

British Columbia's Fjords

The British Columbia Coast has many fjords. They stretch from the border with Alaska all the way to Indian Arm. Kingcome Inlet is a great example of a fjord on the west coast.

Fjords in Newfoundland and Labrador

In Newfoundland and Labrador, you'll find fjords like Saglek Fiord, Nachvak Fiord, and Hebron Fiord in Labrador. On the island of Newfoundland, Western Brook Pond, Trout River Big Pond, and Bonne Bay in Gros Morne National Park are also along the coast.

Quebec's Saguenay Fjord

Quebec has its own famous fjord. The Saguenay River valley is home to the Saguenay Fjord. It's about 100 kilometers long and 275 meters deep.

Arctic Fjords

The Arctic Archipelago also has fjords. You can see them around Ellesmere and Baffin Island. Examples include Alexandra Fiord on Ellesmere Island and Kangiqtualuk Uqquqti on Baffin Island.

When Cliffs Fall: The Risk of Tsunamis

Sometimes, a large piece of a high cliff wall can break off and fall into a fjord. This can create a huge wave called a tsunami. This happened in the early 1900s at Western Brook Pond in Gros Morne National Park. A part of the cliff called Broke Off Cliff fell, causing a 30-meter-high tsunami!

Long and Winding Fjords

Some fjords are very complex. They have many waterways that connect, making them very long. For example, Dean Channel and Douglas Channel are long fjords.

In 1894, Norwegian immigrants settled in Hagensborg. This town is in the Bella Coola Valley within the Dean Channel fjord. The area reminded them of their home country, Norway, which is famous for its fjords. The Dean Channel fjord, from its start to the Fitz Hugh Sound, is about 170 kilometers long. This makes it almost as long as Norway's Hardangerfjord, which is 179 kilometers long. The Hardangerfjord is one of the longest fjords in the world!

Fjords and Climate Change

Fjords like Anaktalak Bay, Saglek Fiord, and Nachvak Fiord in Newfoundland and Labrador are being studied. Scientists are looking at how global warming is changing them. Things like more tourists, more boats, and pollution from air or industry are affecting these beautiful waters. Even changing weather patterns are having an impact on these once untouched fjord basins.

Why Some Fjords Are Called "Canals" or "Channels"

On the British Columbia and Southeast Alaskan coasts, some fjords or inlets are called "canals." This name comes from the Spanish expeditions to the Pacific Northwest in the 1700s. For example, Haro Strait was originally called Canal de Haro. The English word "channel" is similar to the Spanish "canal." You can see this in names like Dean Channel.

Skookumchucks: Strong Waters

Some fjords on the British Columbia coast have fast-moving water called "rapids." These are known as skookumchucks. This word means "strong waters" in Chinook Jargon. Skookumchucks happen when the deep water inside a fjord rushes through shallow and narrow areas near its mouth.

Powerful Winds in Fjords

Fjords in Canada and Norway can experience strong winds called mountain-gap winds or squamish winds. These winds are also known as "outflow winds." They happen when cold, dry air from inland areas finds an easy path through the fjord valleys. These winds can be as strong as hurricane-force winds!

Fjord Lakes: Freshwater Wonders

Not all "fjords" are connected to the sea. Western Brook Pond and Trout River Big Pond in Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park are often called fjords. However, they are actually freshwater lakes that were cut off from the ocean a long time ago. So, they are not true fjords in the English meaning of the word. These types of lakes are sometimes called "fjord lakes."

It's interesting to know that Pissing Mare Falls, which is 350 meters high, flows into Western Brook Pond. In British Columbia, Owikeno Lake is another notable fjord-lake. It's a freshwater part of Rivers Inlet.
