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

'it flows to the southwest in a scandinavian country' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'it flows' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'flows' becomes 'den' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'e'+'den'='EDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?
