Direction followed by European to name a geographical feature (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
north pole
'name a geographical feature' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'direction followed by european' is the wordplay.
'direction' becomes 'north' (compass direction).
'followed by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'european' becomes 'pole' (Pole is an example).
'north'+'pole'='NORTH POLE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for north pole that I've seen before include "I'm on top of the world" , "Where the only way is down" , "Arctic goal" , "bleak situation" , "Icy area" .)
