In the Silmarillion map of Beleriand, the Blue Mtns (Ered Luin) run North to South on the East side of the map and disappear. In the LotR map of ME, they appear in the North-west coming down from the Ice bay of Forochel, and come to an end at the Gulf of Lhun, near the Grey Havens.
Does that mean that Beleriand is under Ice now? Did the polar ice caps melt and cover Beleriand? did the deluge on Numenor cover Beleriand as well? What happened?
