Somes Sound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Somes Sound is a body of water running deep into Mount Desert Island, the main site of Acadia National Park in Maine, United States. Its deepest point is approximately 175 feet, and it is over 100 feet deep in several places. The sound almost splits the island in two. While often described as a fjord, it lacks the extreme vertical relief and anoxic sediments associated with Norwegian fjords, and is perhaps better described as a fjard — a smaller drowned glacial embayment.
