Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, which Dr. Xingqian Cui visited in 2016, was apparently so-named because its discoverer, Captain James Cook, decided if he and the crew ventured into the fjord during a voyage in 1770, it would be 鈥渄oubtful鈥� that they would be able to sail back out of the fjord against the westerly wind.

Fjords: small-but-mighty planetary 鈥渢hermostats鈥� whose role in the global carbon cycle is both sink and source

If you鈥檙e worried about escalating human-induced climate change, consider adding fjords to your thank-you list during this season of gratitude.
