==Creation myth==
Ginnungagap appears as the primordial void in the Norse creation account, the Gylfaginning states:
In the northern part of Ginnungagap lay the intense cold of Niflheim, and to the southern part lay the equally intense heat of Muspelheim. The cosmogonic process began when the effulgence of the two met in the middle of Ginnungagap.
