Fjords, the Sweetmeats of Geography

Now it's true that ALL OF US here at Fjord are pretty damn keen on Fjords, and we're ecstatic about the response we've gotten from all of you - in just the first few days. But keep THIS in perspective.

Nearly every other land-based (and ocean-based too) geographical feature has better P.R. and name recognition that fjords. I mean, Buttes? There's a city in Montana named after them. Volcanoes? Name one night when they're not on the news. Lakes? Where else to go on a hot sunny day. Mountains? Don't even get me started on mountains...I mean it pal, I'll bring the fucking PAIN! Hell, even the Great Plains - which are boring as hell, have a stanza in AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. Canyons, gultches, foothills, rivers, badlands, swamps, beaches, islands, inlets, peninsulas, deserts, steppes...all of them have to be beaten like a dirty rug, if we are to accomplish why we started Fjord in the first place.

Which is to promote the awesome incredible-ness of the best geography on the planet. Whether it's their luscious mouths, their curvaceous (and perky) peaks, their wondrous wondrous harborages (nestled deeply inside them), their narrow width, their saucy open-ness - practically begging to be explored...whew...is it getting kinda warm over here? Anyways, that, and all the other news and information that we here at Fjord, think, is tangentially relevant. The completion of the task at hand is to bring fjords to the fjordfront of consciousness and pop-culture. We hope you enjoy our efforts, and also realize, exactly what we're really up against.

Thank You.
