The Dano-Norwegian government officials in charge of the giving of the coats, had a party to remember the momentous occasion and became too drunk and hungover to remember which was which, and so Molde got the coat with a whale ( which are scarce in between the Romsdal fjords ) and Kristiansund got the waterfall ( since Molde is on the mainland and Kristiansund lies in the open sea, it would be more likely that the waterfall was intended for Molde's mountains and the whales for Kristiansund.

Molde was never a whaling port ; the image is merely a representation of the once-held belief that whales were chasing ( and not following ) the schools of fish into the fjords at certain times of the year.

In some places near the seaward margins of areas with fjords, the ice-scoured channels are so numerous and varied in direction that the rocky coast is divided into thousands of island blocks, some large and mountainous while others are merely rocky points or rock reefs, menacing navigation.

The island fringe of Norway is such a group of skerries ( called a skjærgård ); many of the cross fjords are so arranged that they parallel the coast and provide a protected channel behind an almost unbroken succession of mountainous islands and skerries.

The west coast shoreline is rugged and in many places mountainous, characterised by its many fjords, bays, and inlets.

The land is still rebounding from the enormous weight of the ice ( isostatic rebound ), " growing out of the sea " with several mm a year, especially the eastern part of the country and the inner part of the long fjords, where the ice cover was thickest.

Nearly all villages and towns are situated on one of these fjords and the name of the county is based on the fjords.

Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea ; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as below sea level.

New Zealand's fjords are also host to deep sea corals, but a surface layer of dark fresh water allows these corals to grow in much shallower water than usual.

Though much longer than the eastern ( or " main ") continent on which most of the action of The Wheel of Time takes place, it is narrower and is split by many fissures and fjords ; consequently, its landmass is less than one and a half times that of the eastern continent.
