The first giant of Norse mythology was Ymir. He was created (by whom or what is unclear) imprisoned inside a block of ice in Ginunga gap. It was not until the giant cow, Audhumla (freed from her own ice block by the showers of sparks emanating from Surtrs flashing sword;) found Ymir, trapped in his block of ice that he was finally freed.
