This is the magical well of Mimir in which one of the three roots of Yggdrasil is nourished. Mimir the giant drinks from the well and it gives him wisdom.

"Under the root that goes to the frost giants is the Well of Mimir. Wisdom and intelligence are hidden there, and Mimir is the name of the well's owner. He is full of wisdom because he drinks of the well from the Gjallarhorn. The All-Father went there and asked for one drink from the well, but he did not get this until he gave one of his eyes as a pledge. As it says in The Sibyl's Prophecy:

Odin, I know all,
where you hid the eye
in that famous
Well of Mimir.
Each morning
Mimir drinks mead
from Val-Father's pledge.

Do you know now or what?"

From the Prose Edda
