A fjord that is a river

This fjord is long and very narrow, so typical of the island's fjords. This one is less than 1000 feet (330 meters) long, and no more than 70 feet wide, terminating in the typical, wide bay about 130 feet in diameter. It is locked between 1000-1400 foot high cliffs. The most interesting feature is the around-the-clock tidal flows that make the fjord into a river of reversing flows.
