Literature

Audhumla [the nourishing power ], in Scandinavian mythology, is the cow created by Surt to nourish Ymir. She supplied him with four rivers of milk, and was herself nourished by licking the rocks. (See Ymir.)
Bör, the first man, was made by Audhumla licking salt from the snow. Odin was the son of Bör.
The breath of Audhumla was very sweet, but her milk was bitter. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Audhumla is the primeval cow in Norse mythology, coming into existence at the beginning of time through shaping of the melted Ginnungagap ice . She lived off the Niflheim ice, licking pieces of salt and hoar frost. The frost giant Ymir lived off of her milk.

While licking the original Ginnungagap ice, Audhumla formed the shape of a man which became Buri, who later fathered Bor, father of Odin, Vili and Ve.
