With an island in it!

It is a fjord, right?

No, a fjord is a section of ocean bordered by cliffs.

A fjord is a long bay with steep sides.
Interesting, though.

This is more of a loch, I think.

Hmmm... I found fjords in the last version... they are very rare and seem to be a glitch when they do appear.  I keep hoping to find a seed with one in this version.  The best place to check on a world map is the far right border; that is where the glitch usually appears.

I suppose Norway is a very glitchy place then.  That explains a few things.

Okay, it's not a fjord, but it's a really cool formation!

People calling it a loch, as in loch ness monster?

Cause a bunch of hills surrounded by a river is not called a loch, it is called an island...

A loch is just a lake. There would be noi river coming off it.

Loch = Scottish dialect for lake.

And I think this would count as a lake, yes.

It's a tarn (I would put :eng101: here but it doesn't show up well on a dark background)

Rather appropriate, wouldn't you say?

Just think, if the earth mark 2 ever got built that comment would read: Africa is a very glitchy place then.
