Length in km from the mouth to the head of the fjord, as the sources give it: Wikidata’s (P2043), else the English Wikipedia article’s, else the figure in the opening lines of the Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Faroese, German or Spanish article. Scoresby Sund counts as the whole system with Nordvestfjord, about 350 km, the longest on Earth. A fjord of unknown length is left out. Fjords are the items Wikidata records as a fjord (or a Norwegian fjord, Förde or poll): sea lochs, firths and sounds count where Wikidata calls them fjords too (the Firth of Forth, Loch Long, Milford Sound), and not otherwise. A fjord under 5 km, or of unknown length, is in only when well known (articles in 5 or more Wikipedia editions). Countries are Wikidata’s; a fjord of Greenland, the Faroes or Svalbard counts for Denmark or Norway too.
