In Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and other Nordic countries, the term Fimbulvetr has been borrowed from Old Norse to refer to an unusually cold and harsh winter. Vafþrúðnir responds that Líf and Lífþrasir will survive and that they will live in the forest of Hoddmímis holt. In the poem Vafþrúðnismál, Odin poses the question to Vafþrúðnir as to who of mankind will survive the Fimbulvetr. The event is described primarily in the Poetic Edda. After the Fimbulvetr, the events of Ragnarök begins.
Fimbulvetr is three successive winters, when snow comes in from all directions, without any intervening summer, and Innumerable wars follow. It is a three-year long period of extreme environmental change (e.g., heavy snow and blizzards in Midgard, increased humidity in Svartalfheim and Vanaheim) which serves as a foreboding occurrence for Ragnarök, the total annihilation of all the Nine Realms.įimbulvetr is the harsh winter that precedes the end of the world and puts an end to all life on Earth. –Kratos and Mimir discussing Fimbulwinterįimbulwinter or Fimbulvetr (mighty winter in Old Norse) is a prophesied event affecting several realms such as Midgard, Svartalfheim, Vanaheim, Alfheim, and possibly others. Snow, lots more snow, and then the end of the bloody world, in that approximate order."
