In briefanswer capsule

Elenwë was an Elf, wife of Turgon and mother of Idril Celebrindal. Under Fingolfin, with Finrod and Galadriel among their leaders, the Noldor pushed into the far North and traversed the Helcaraxë after leaving the Blessed Realm. During that passage Elenwë died, and many others with her. Fingolfin later entered the Outer Lands with fewer followers than before.
