In
marine geography, the term "inlet" usually refers to either the actual
channel between an
enclosed bay and the
open ocean and is often called an "entrance", or a significant recession in the shore of a sea, lake or large river. A certain kind of inlet created by past
glaciation is a
fjord, typically but not always in mountainous coastlines and also in
montane lakes.
