The Prose Edda, often referred to as simply Edda, is a poetic text from ca 13th-century Iceland. Attributed to Snorri Sturluson, the Edda features various tales concerning Norse Mythology. Consisting of four parts, the Prologue, Gylfaginning, Skáldskaparmál, and Háttatal, the Edda discusses the origin of the gods, creation and destruction of the world, the language of poetry, and rules of acceptable poetic verse forms.

Vatnajökull Ice Cap, Iceland by orvaratli“This ice cave is on the edge of the glacier where it enters into an lagoon near Svínafellsjökull. It is only possible to access it when the lagoon is frozen. Ice caves are in general unstable things and can collapse at any time. They are however much more stable in winter when the cold temperatures harden the ice. Even so we could hear constant cracking sounds inside the cave. It was not because it was going to collapse but because the cave was moving along with the glacier itself. Each time the glacier moved a millimeter loud sounds could be heard.”
