What strikes me is the lack of trees a hundred years ago, probably due to today's reduced grazing from goats and sheep.

Speaking of goates and sheeps. you are right. The vegitation IS keapt donwn due to farming and animal grazing. This is why Norway has the worlds most beautiful fjords. There are fjords elsewhere too - e.g. in Alaska, but there are few places in the world where vegitation is keapt down by the farming and animal grazing. In fact no other creature would be able to live in the steep, rocky mountains surrounding the fjords i Norway. Where people and animal live, the trees and grass is keapt down. This is what makes the Norwegian fjords uniqe in the world.

By the way: the name fjord or fiord (pronounced /fjɔːd/ or pronounced /fiːɔːd/) has its origin from the norse (ancient norwegian language) word farda, which means to travel or to go (to the other side - accross the fjord).
