Narrow Ice

Narrow Ice
   Bilbo's name for the Helcaraxë.
   A name for the treacherous icy wastes in the far north of the world, that ran between Aman and Middle-earth in former Ages of the World. This region was called the Helcaraxë by the Elves; the name 'Narrow Ice' is only ever used by Bilbo Baggins, in his poem 'Eärendil was a mariner'.
