We maynote in the first place that geologists and geographers may bedivided into two main groups whose ideas regarding the originof fjords are mutually opposed. The first group may be desig-nated as the glacialists, because in their opinion all thephenomena peculiar to fjords may be explained as the result-ofextensive glacial over-deepening of pre-glacial river valleys nearthe sea. The second group, or non-glacialists, reject thetheory of ice erosion, and attempt to account for the phenomenaof fjords in other ways. According to the glacial theory, fjords are partially submergedglacial troughs. The troughs of glaciated mountains far from.
