An X where ducks are in America (6,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

across the pond

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'america' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an x where ducks' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'x' could be 'cross' (I've seen this before) and 'cross' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'are in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for across the pond that I've seen is " America".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
