    Learned from information from New Zealand’s incorrectly named Doubtful and Milford Sound (which is also in the incorrectly spelled Fiordlands region), sounds and fjords are both valleys carved out of the land. The difference is what did the carving. Fjords were created by glaciers, whereas sounds were created by flowing water or other natural erosion processes. Sounds are often wider, less steep and can be more inland too.
