Also known as:अन्य नाम: The Grinding Ice
The Helcaraxe, the Grinding Ice, was the strait of cruel, ever-shifting ice and freezing sea in the utter north of the world, where Aman drew near to Middle-earth. After Feanor burned the ships at Losgar and abandoned his kin on the far shore, Fingolfin in pride and bitterness led his host across this deadly waste on foot; the crossing cost many lives, among them Elenwe wife of Turgon, and those who came through it into Middle-earth were hardened by grief and labour.
Helcaraxe, Grinding Ice, संसार के अत्यंत north में cruel, सदा बदलती ice और freezing sea की strait थी, जहाँ Aman, Middle-earth के पास आता था। Feanor ने Losgar में ships जलाकर संबंधियों को दूर shore पर छोड़ दिया तो Fingolfin ने गर्व और कटुता में अपने host को इस deadly waste के ऊपर पैदल ले गए। Crossing ने अनेक जीवन लिए, उनमें Turgon की पत्नी Elenwe भी थीं। जो शोक और श्रम सहकर Middle-earth पहुँचे, वे उससे कठोर बन गए।
