We just learned about what a Fjord is.
Another type of Glacier is a Piedmont Glacier.
Just like the other glaciers, when these melt the land around it can make them into a different shape.
If the valley where the glacier flows is a low flat plain, then it spreads out and looks sort of like a seashell or fan shape.
