Andlang
In Norse mythology, Andlang (also Andlàngr or Öndlangr) is described as the second heavenly realm which stretches between the first, containing the halls of the gods, and the third, named Vídbláin.〔''Gylfaginning'' 17 ()〕 In all there are nine heavens according to Snorri.〔''Skáldskaparmál'' 75 ()〕 Andlang will serve as a shelter and dwelling place for the souls of the dead during and after the destruction of Ragnarök.
Holtsmark (1964) noted that Snorri's Andlang derived from ''andlegr himinn'' ("spiritual heaven") in the medieval Icelandic version of the ''Elucidarius'', crediting Hjalmar Falk for this inspiration,〔"Falk har sikkert rett i at ''Andlangr'' er laget av ''andlegr'' himinn; det andre navnet er ikke så let å forstå, det tør også være laget for anledningen. Det er en anakronisme å tale om «verdensrommet», som Falk gjør" ()〕〔Probably 〕 adding her own insight that the ''and-'' heading made the term readily associable with ''andi'' "spirit" ((ノルウェー語:ånd)) which was in a way synonymous "elves,"〔 Sort of synonymous, she says (p.37), because in ''Nornagests þáttr'' Olaf Tryggvason thinks there might be a presence of an elf or spirit in the house: "''einn álfr eða andi nǫkkurr kom inn í húsit".〕 which fits in with the fact that Snorri describes light elves as denizens of the third heaven, Vídbláin. Rudolf Simek (1995), in similar line of inquiry, explores a functional connection between Andlang and the ''Coelus Spiritualis'' (the "spiritual heaven" in the original Latin version of the ''Elucidarius'').
Other attempts at interpretation include "long-" or "far-breathing" (Magnusen 1828) and "limitless aether" (),〔; ; .〕 which identify the stem ''önd-'' "breath". It has also been glossed as "endlessly long" (), consistent with the gloss "extended" or "very long" given in Anthony Faulkes's translation of the ''Prose Edda''.
