	Before the end of the Second Age, the continent of Aman, home of the [[Valar]], formed the western edge of Belegaer. Before the ruin of [[Beleriand]] at the end of the [[First Age]], the sea was narrow and ice-filled in the north, forming the strait of Helcaraxë, the Grinding Ice. It was thus possible to cross from Aman to Middle-earth on foot, though with difficulty, as did [[Fingolfin]] and his people of the [[Noldor]] when fleeing [[Valinor]].
