I believe the answer is:

arctic circle

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

'frozen region' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'heavy transport group capturing carbon' is the wordplay.
'heavy transport' becomes 'artic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'group' becomes 'circle' (I've seen this in other clues).
'capturing' indicates putting letters inside.
'carbon' becomes 'C' (chemical symbol).
'artic'+'circle'='articcircle'
'articcircle' enclosing 'c' is 'ARCTIC CIRCLE'.

'in' is the link.
