Huginn or Muninn?
Whilst hiking on Vatnajokull glacier we were visited by this raven. The guide joked that two ravens often accompany the glacier expeditions and they must be Odin’s ravens Huginn (meaning thought) and Muninn (meaning memory or mind). Odin would send his ravens out to report on what was happening in the world. On this day they would send word that an American tourist got very tired of wearing crampons, but successfully hiked the glacier.
I can’t imagine that Odin would care too much about my accomplishment, despite it being (for me) a life highlight.
I love this photo and I love the blue reflection in the raven’s eyes. As though they are communicating with a deity.
