Dingy loos set up in Spitzbergen (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

svalbard

'spitzbergen' is the definition.
(I know that spitzbergen can be written as Svalbard)

'dingy loos set up' is the wordplay.
'dingy' becomes 'drab' (both can mean gloomy or dark).
'loos' becomes 'lavs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'set up' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'drab'+'lavs'='drablavs'
'drablavs' reversed gives 'SVALBARD'.

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
