Surt Splitting the Sky While Rising from Muspelheim
Surtr, the primordial fire giant and ruler of Muspelheim, is destined to lead the destruction of the world during Ragnarök. Carrying a flaming sword that outshines the sun, he emerges from the realm of fire to split the heavens and engulf the earth in flame. This cosmic event is traditionally linked to the volcanic activity of Iceland, specifically the massive Eldgjá eruption of the 10th century.
