Hnitbjorg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Hnitbjorg is the mountain abode of the giant Suttung, where he placed the mead of poetry for safekeeping under the guardianship of his daughter Gunnlod. Odin, with the help of Suttung's brother Baugi, drilled a hole into the mountain and thereby gained access to the mead.
