In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil (Old Norse Yggdrasill, ; the extra -l is a
nominative case marker) is the World Tree, a great ash tree located at the
center of the universe and joining the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. The
trunk of the tree may be thought of as forming a vertical axis around which
these worlds are situated, with Ásgard, realm of the gods, at the top and
the underworld realm of Niflheim at the bottom. Midgard, the world of
mortals, is located in the middle and surrounded by Jötunheim, land of
giants, both of which are separated by the ocean. Yggdrasil is also
sometimes known as Mimameid or Laerad.
