The Battle of the Ice was a battle in which Melkor and his forces surprised the Valar and won. The victory established snow and winter in Arda. Many of the Ainur that held responsibility over the elements of earth, air, fire, and life fought against Melkor. Melkor, being the creator of ice, would later set up Utumno in the far northern reaches of Arda. This was the last battle that Melkor's forces won, for after this battle, Tulkas and his warrior-Maiar and chiefs descended into Arda to join the Ainur.
