Slartibartfast is the name of a designer of planets, most notably the fjord?s found on the coast of Norway on planet Earth (mostly harmless), in The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Slartibartfast won an award for his coastal design. When Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect were on ancient Earth, they saw this award (and Slartibartfast's signature) deep inside a glacier in ancient Norway.

When Earth II was being made, Slartibartfast was assigned to the continent of Africa. He was unhappy about this, because he wanted to make more fjords, and fjords in Africa would be hard for him to explain without natural glacial movement.

Trivia/urban legend on the name "Slartibartfast" - mixture of a bunch of curse words all thrown together.
