TRAINING A GIANT
Simply put, a fjord is defined as such: A glacial valley flooded
by the sea. An actual tear in the Canadian Shield, this
formation began millions of years ago with the collapse of
bedrock between two faults. This was followed by ice ages
that hollowed out the valley and rounded the landscape.
Then, salty, cold and heavy water infiltrated under the
brackish water level.
This dynamic of the fjord’s
water creates two super-
imposed habitats: brackish
surface water species and
deep marine species.

in addition to even feeding their young. This precious locations
