As to the Ice Bay. Forochel was renowned for its figure skating Hobbits: such greats as Alexei Whirlntwirl, Alexei Jumpsalot, Alexei Camelspin and Alexei Fallsonrear (all great skaters are named Alexei) went there to train.
This practice continued until the Freak Winter of 2911, when the Bay did not freeze over, and several Hobbits drowned. Then the Rangers of Forochel (the Bay's other inhabitents) closed off the Bay. Figure skating in Middle-earth has not been the same since.
