Huntsmen lost while wandering round Eastern volcano (5,2,6)
I believe the answer is:
mount st helens
'volcano' is the definition.
(US volcano)
'huntsmen lost while wandering round eastern' is the wordplay.
'while wandering' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'huntsmen'+'lost'='huntsmenlost'
'huntsmenlost' with letters rearranged gives 'mountsthlens'.
'mountsthlens' enclosing 'e' is 'MOUNT ST HELENS'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
