Everything about Fimbulwinter totally explained
In
Norse mythology,
Fimbulwinter (
Old Norse Fimbulvetr) is the immediate prelude to the
end of the world,
Ragnarök. Fimbulwinter is three successive
winters where snow comes in from all directions, without any intervening
summer. During this time, there will be innumerable wars and brothers will kill brothers.
The prefix 'fimbul' means "the great/big" so the correct interpretation of the word is "the great winter".
There have been several popular speculations about whether this particular piece of mythology has a connection to the
climate change that occurred in the Nordic countries at the end of the
Nordic Bronze Age, about
650 BC. Before this climate change, the Nordic countries were considerably warmer.
In
Denmark,
Norway,
Sweden and other Nordic countries, the term
fimbulvinter is also used to refer to an unusually cold and harsh
winter.
