From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Ice giants are creatures from sailors' folklore. It is unknown if they have any connection with giants who live beyond the Wall.
Legends
Sailors claim that shimmering lights seen in the Shivering Sea are caused by the demon mother of the ice giants.[1]
Quotes
Sailors, by nature a gullible and superstitious lot, as fond of their fancies as singers, tell many tales of these frigid northern waters. They speak of queer lights shimmering in the sky, where the demon mother of the ice giants dances eternally through the night, seeking to lure men northward to their doom.[1]
