The local destabilization of a finger occurs by a splitting of its tip and results in the formation of two branches separated by a fjord.
He succeeded in piloting the ship into an unfamiliar fjord and signalled for assistance.
Evidently, in all these cases the fjords cannot be compared to the normal trajectories to the symmetrical finger.
For this reason, we tried to generalize the procedure and to identify the central lines of the fjord with a virtual wall.
It is shown that, in a first approximation, the central line of a fjord follows a curve normal to the successive profiles of stable fingers.
As a result, the indentation and therefore the fjord starting point become more and more confined to the vicinity of the finger tip.
The fjord length diverges to infinity when the starting points get closer to the tip.
Another feature of lakes, fjords and coastal oceans is they are rarely quiescent; rather there is generally some background shear due to a large-scale flow.
