Gimle

At the southernmost end
of heaven is the hall which is fairest of all and brighter than the
sun, called Gimle. It shall stand when both heaven and earth have
passed away, and in that place shall live good and righteous
people for ever and ever. Thus it says in Voluspa:

I know a hall standing fairer than the sun, better than gold,
at Gimle. There shall virtuous men dwell, and for all ages
enjoy delight.’

Then spoke Gangleri: ‘What will protect this place when Surt’s
fire burns heaven and earth?’

High said: ‘They say there is another heaven south of and above
this heaven of ours, and that heaven is called Andlang; and that
there is a third heaven still further above that one, and that is
called Vidblain, and it is in that heaven that we believe this place
to be. But we believe it is only light-elves that inhabit these places
for the time being.’

Then spoke Gangleri: ‘Where does the wind come from? It is so
strong it stirs great seas and whips up fire, but strong as it is, it
cannot be seen. Thus it is marvellously made.’
