In Norse mythology, the Light Elves (Old Norse: Ljósálfar) live in Álfheim. They have shining white skin. Snorri describes them as being "fairer to look upon than the sun" (Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur's translation). Snorri also stresses the great difference in both appearance and nature between them and Svartálfar.
