Amsvartnir
Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Lake in Norse mythology
In
High tells Gangleri (king Gylfi in disguise) that the gods and Fenrir fared across Amsvartnir to get to Lyngvi, and there bound Fenrir.[2]
Since Amsvartnir is only mentioned in Gylfaginning, Rudolf Simek theorizes that Snorri invented the lake.[3]
