fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier.
Note: Fjords can exist both in the sea and in freshwater/lakes.

How to map
Draw an area 
to match shape of the bay and tag it with natural=bay. As the last resort place a node instead of an area.
Additional tags
- name=* - name of fjord
In detail
- large fjords (such as the 179 km long Hardangerfjorden on Wikipedia) should be mapped as area/polygon, following the coastline along land, but using a simplified geometry.
- smaller fjords should be mapped as area/polygon, either coinciding with the coastline or as a multipolygon using the coastline directly.
- small fjords may be mapped using a single node, but an area is preferred.
Examples
 |
Here, the coastline is mostly used. |
| Reykjarfjörður | |
 |
In cases where the coastline is difficult to use, use a coarse polygon. |
| Kvinnheradsfjorden |
